Consultation on proposed changes to the School Transport Policy

Hampshire County Council has launched two consultations on its current School Transport Policy and its Post-16 Transport Policy for the 2026/27 academic year.   

The consultations run until Sunday, 7 December and seek feedback on a number of small, proposed changes to make the two policies easier to understand and provide greater clarity on how the services are delivered and managed. Alongside these basic changes to policy wording, the County Council is also proposing to withdraw the formal offer of a Spare Capacity Seats Scheme in its School Transport Policy.
