Free Transport For School And College Students (EDM384)

Free Transport For School And College Students

EDM number 384 in 2008-09, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 12/01/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Buses, Schools and Students.

That this House calls on the Government to extend the concessionary bus fares scheme to allow everyone under 16 years and those able to prove they are in full-time education or on a work-based learning scheme free travel on buses nationwide; notes the application and success of such a scheme for those who live in London boroughs; and recognises the positive outcomes of such a scheme in offering greater social inclusion and increased mobility for those with limited incomes, a reduction of traffic on the school run and environmental benefits arising from more people making bus travel their viable routine choice.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
