What is it?

When can you apply for pupil transportation?

You can apply for pupil transportation for children who cannot travel to school independently due to distance or disability. The municipality reimburses a student's transportation costs to and from the home address and the nearest desired school.

Based on the advice of JPH Consult, the municipality assesses whether the student is eligible for transport services and, if so, for which transport services.

You may be eligible for adapted transportation in the following cases:

• If a mental, physical or sensory disability requires adapted transportation;
• if the travel time by public transportation exceeds one and a half hours and the travel time can be reduced by 50 percent or more with adapted transportation;
• if public transportation is lacking and the student cannot travel by bicycle or moped.

Adapted transport for a (special) primary and special education school

A transportation allowance is granted if the distance from the home to the nearest accessible school for:

• primary education as defined in the Primary Education Act exceeds six kilometers;
• special primary education as referred to in the Primary Education Act exceeds four kilometers; or
• special education exceeds four kilometers.

Adapted transportation for secondary (special) education

Is your child unable to travel independently because of a structural physical, mental, sensory or psychological disability? The municipality will reimburse the cost on a mileage reimbursement basis if your child can ride a bicycle with supervision or the municipality will reimburse the cost of public transportation for the child and her/his supervisor.

Consulting JPH Consult

Does your child attend:

• regular secondary education or secondary special education

And is your child unable to travel independently? Then JPH Consult is called in to provide medical advice on how your child can travel to school. They will then contact you about what documents you need to provide and in what manner.

The transportation facilities

• mileage allowance for transportation by bicycle
• reimbursement for public transportation (possibly accompanied)
• custom transport

Have you indicated that your child can cycle independently? Then the decision will be made by the municipality on this basis and Argonaut Advies B.V. will not be asked for advice.
