Personal transport budgets
A personal transport budget (PTB) is funding to help parents get their child to school or college.
It allows parents to make flexible travel arrangements rather than travelling on a vehicle contracted by the council. A PTB is not a short-term alternative while a transport application is being processed.
Schools should signpost parents to: families.leicester.gov.uk/personal-transport-budget
Schools who have any queries can contact: personaltransportbudget@leicester.gov.uk
Application form for SEND transport
Th application form for SEND transport is now live. The form has two purposes and splits accordingly to what type of transport is required, which are:
- Personal transport budgets – where parents and carers opt to manage the child’s transportation arrangements
- Assisted transport – where transportation is organised by the city council
Please consider the environment.
