Students attending Sixth Form Schools or Further Education Colleges are generally not entitled to any assistance with transport. Nottingham has a variety of establishments offering Post 16 Education, all of which are accessible using public transport. Weekly, monthly and yearly Season Tickets are available from commercial bus operators at a reduced cost to the daily fare.

For those less well off students, an Education Maintenance Allowances (EMA) may be available and could offer up to £30 a week, which may be used towards the cost of travelling to college. For more information about EMA’s call 080 810 16219.

For those students having to travel to a remote college outside of the Greater Nottingham area, a half fare travel pass may be available if the college is the nearest one available that offers the desired course(s).

For students with a disability and unable to walk or use public transport to get to college, specialised transport may be available dependant on the students needs.
