School Transport and Post-16 Transport Policy Consultation

We have been asked by HCC to share the below information with families:

Hampshire County Council has opened two consultations on its current School Transport Policy and its Post-16 Transport Policy for 2026/27.   

The consultations run until Sunday, 7 December and seek feedback on a number of small, proposed changes to make the two policies easier to understand and provide greater clarity on how the services are delivered and managed. Alongside these basic changes to policy wording, the County Council is also proposing to withdraw the formal offer of a Spare Capacity Seats Scheme in its School Transport Policy. 

Visit the below webpages for more information about each consultation and details of how to submit your feedback: 

• School Transport Policy 
• Post-16 Transport Policy  ?? 

Next steps

Analysis of the consultation feedback will be presented, alongside recommendations for each policy, to the County Council’s Cabinet Lead Member for Children’s Services at a future Decision Day in early 2026.??
