School transport represents a significant cost to local authorities, over £1.3 billion a year. It remains an emotive topic with concerns about personal security and safety. There is also increasing focus on the health and environmental impact of the school journey. School transport provision should be a key part of authorities’ sustainable travel strategies.

Topics featured include:

• Managing entitlement to transport
• 14-19 reforms and flexible learning
• Coordination and value for money
• Special needs transport
• Safety and security
• Improving consulting with young people
• Driver training.

Top speakers representing all stakeholders group will bring the experience of best practice and detail of relevant case studies together with the new research.
