Increase school transport provision for students from lower income households

What the petition asks
We want the Government to increase funding and eligibility for school transport for students who come from lower income households, allowing more children to access free transport.
Many students are not able to go to the school that they would like to as a result of their parents' income. We do not believe that a child should have to make a decision about their education based on their parents income. No child should have to be excluded for financial reasons.
