School transport is so complex
SEND transport costs are unsustainable
UK councils now spend £2.3 billion on home-to-school transport, and the bill has risen sharply in recent years.
Driver shortages leave pupils without routes
Captain recruitment in the UK school transport sector has not recovered since COVID, leaving routes hard to staff.
Specialist vehicles for complex needs are hard to source
Children with complex SEND needs require adapted vehicles, trained escorts and agreed route-specific protocols.
Council transport budgets are overspending every year
UK local authorities collectively overspent their home-to-school transport budgets by £415 million in 2023-24.
That's where we come in. Managed transport built for UK councils.
