Fund free travel for 16-19 year olds that are in further education

Closed 31 signatures

What the petition asks

Support all school leavers that go into further education by funding free transport. Use it as an incentive and a reward.
Free travel should be available to all 16-19 year olds in further education. This supports the families to enable the child to enter further education and may make a positive contribution to later employment figures.

The expense of public transport can be a barrier to young people trying to access further education. Free travel would prevent this and help more young people to pursue further education and training.
