Pupils Asked to Retain School Transport Travel Passes

Pembrokeshire pupils who hold a school transport travel pass are
being asked to retain their 2019 - 2020 pass for use during the
upcoming 2020 - 2021 academic year.

Normally Pembrokeshire County Council would send out a new
school transport travel pass to every pupil who uses school transport
during the summer holidays.

That has not been possible this summer.

The Council will only be issuing new passes to those pupils moving
into Year 7 and any new primary school pupils requiring transport.

However, if passes have become ineligible the Council will replace
these and waive the normal £5 replacement fee.

Please note that this does NOT apply to concessionary passes and
they need to be re-applied for each year as normal.

But, with a reduction in capacity on vehicles, there is less space
available than normal and the Authority may not be able to issue
concessionary passes on all routes before the start of the new term.

Parents are urged not to send their children to travel on transport
without a valid pass as drivers will have no choice but to refuse them
travel.

The Council will be surveying numbers of pupils travelling over the
first few weeks of new academic year and will issue further
concessionary passes as soon as they are sure there is sufficient
capacity on the vehicles.
