Automatic Assessments for Transport Assistance

All new year 7 students who are about to start secondary school in Torbay and are transferring from a Torbay primary school are automatically assessed for transport entitlement.

All students who are assessed as entitled or who may be entitled under low income grounds are contacted in the summer term. Details of how to apply and payment information is also enclosed.

For all  year 8-11 students already receiving transport, entitlement is reviewed on an annual basis and students are contacted each summer term to confirm if they wish to continue with the transport assistance.

If you have recently moved into the area or you have moved address please contact the Transport Team to request a re assessment as you may be entitled to assistance following the change of circumstances.

How do I apply for transport assistance?

If you are not in the category of being automatically assessed then you will need to apply to be assessed for transport assistance.

If you think you are entitled to transport assistance and would like to apply please download and complete the application form from the Do it On Line Section on the right of this page and the transport team will contact you following assessment. The application types are:

• Post 16 Transport
• New Low Income Entitlement
