Transport services and cost

• What was your average cost for financial year 2019 for adults and children transport services?

For adults, where we have interpreted your request to refer to adult social care clients rather than passengers on public transport, some contracts are managed locally with an allocated fleet or contractor vehicle. We therefore do not record the total number of passengers travelling.

For children this has been taken to mean the number of children travelling to school or college transport under the Education Transport policy including those attending a mainstream school or college, a Special Educational Need establishment or Post 16 provision. It does not include children who travel on public routes that pay their own way or are funded by an Education establishment.

In 2019/20 financial year, taking the number of all passengers from January of that year the average cost per travelling passenger was £1,926
