In addition to the Travel Training service operating within special schools, Wiltshire also offers a service for SEND young people travelling to post-16 education settings or to work/ volunteering settings in Wiltshire. WEST travel leaflet(PDF)[264KB](opens new window) gives more information.

In preparation for adulthood, it is expected that the majority of young people beyond the age of 16 will travel independently to their place of education. There will be a small number of learners who, after travel training, are not able to travel independently. A subsidised travel scheme is available for these learners continuing in full-time education (either school or college) between 16 and 19 years of age. The offer of a reduced rate travel of £300 per annum for students whose gross household income is less than £20,819 and for all other students the charge will be £650. Travel arrangements will not be put in place until the full payment or the Direct Debit for instalment payment has been set up.
From the age of 19 there is no subsidised travel contribution. If you are applying for transport for a young person who is over 19 years old on the 1st of September, transport will be provided free of charge.
