Post-16 Transport Policy Statement 2024/25

Independent Travel Training (ITT) programmes are delivered by some Buckinghamshire schools/colleges to support students as they transition to adulthood.

This training helps students develop the skills, confidence and knowledge they need to use transport safely. It covers topics such as road safety, personal safety, money management, journey planning and coping strategies, including:

• confidence in using buses or trains
• personal safety
• how to use timetables and buy tickets
• road safety, including how to cope with traffic on major roads
• what to do when things go wrong (e.g. the bus is late)

For some students ITT would not be appropriate due to their complex needs. Students can contact their school or college direct to ask whether they offer independent travel training.
