School Transport Cuts

This campaign has ended.

The current school transport is offered to children further afield form their local school can attend the school of their choice on the current school transport services. This needs to be kept in place to protect those who rely on these services and support the children attend the school they choose. 

Not cut these services as of September 2025. 

Why is this important?

In September the Welsh Government has proposed to cut down school transport and only offer the services to children attending the nearest local school. At this time children who are attending schools further afield are able to attend the school of their choice with the current bus services offered. This affects the children firstly. 

As of September 2025 these facilities are being cut. This is not only going to affect the amount of cars on the roads but it will also target families on lower incomes, families with vulnerabilities and could potentially affect many young people's education if they are to forced to attend a different school due to the cuts. This does not support the proposed bill offered by the Welsh Government but acts against it. 

Public transport services have already been cut in recent months and now they are cutting the school transport services. This area is desperately in need of more transport. Not the cuts that are being enforced. This will have a negative impact on many families, specifically those who are in need of more support. But again this will first affect the children first who are already settled in their chosen schools and potentially affect their progress in their education.
