School Transport Solutions in UK

Every Pupil Transported. Every Statutory Duty Met.

Managed home-to-school transport for UK local authorities navigating SEND obligations, driver shortages and rising per-child costs.
School transport is so complex

SEND transport costs are unsustainable

UK councils now spend £2.3 billion on home-to-school transport, and the bill has risen sharply in recent years.

Driver shortages leave pupils without routes

Captain recruitment in the UK school transport sector has not recovered since COVID, leaving routes hard to staff.

Specialist vehicles for complex needs are hard to source

Children with complex SEND needs require adapted vehicles, trained escorts and agreed route-specific protocols.

Council transport budgets are overspending every year

UK local authorities collectively overspent their home-to-school transport budgets by £415 million in 2023-24.
