Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will support schools to co-ordinate applications for the Young Persons’ (Unde-22s) Free Bus Travel Scheme on behalf of pupils.
Answer
The application process, card renewals, card replacements and all other cardholder management are the responsibility of the Improvement Service for online applications and of individual local councils for all other applications. All local councils have been given the option of coordinating applications through schools on behalf of their pupils with the necessary information having been provided to them by the Improvement Service late last year.
