Decision details

There is a statutory requirement to publish a Post 16 Transport Policy Statement by 31st May each year in accordance with the Home to School Statutory Travel and Transport Guidance published by the Government in 2014.

There is a statutory requirement to publish a Post 16 Transport Policy Statement by 31st May each year. Any proposed changes must also be the subject of a consultation prior to the change. The only proposed change to the policy for 2022/2023 was included in a wider consultation on home to school transport, whichtook place between 29th November 2021 and 31st January 2022. Following that consultation, it has been decided not to proceed with the proposed change to the Post 16 Policy

Therefore, there are no changes proposed to the 2022/23 Policy Statement and this will only contain updates to the names of various bus passes, which are now offered by South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE). These updates have been made to the draft policy and a copy is attached for information. Approval is now required to publish the policy in May 2022 in accordance with the statutory requirement

As this is a statutory requirement no alternative options were considered.
