Privilege Pass

What is a Privilege Pass?

Clackmannanshire Council provides free school transport to pupils who live more than the statutory distance from their catchment school. Service buses are often used for this home to school transport but where there are no service buses operating at school times, we may provide a private contract bus or taxi.

Once free transport spaces have been allocated, there are sometimes additional seats available on these contracted school transport vehicles that may be offered to pupils who are not entitled to free transport. This is concessionary school transport space that is only available on a contracted service and is called a Privilege Pass.

How much does a Privilege Pass cost?

There is no charge for Privilege Passes.

Once I have been offered and granted a Privilege Pass, is this space on the vehicle guaranteed for the duration of the term or school year?

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a space for the duration of a term or a school year. We may have to withdraw your Privilege Pass at any time to give access to an entitled pupil. We will try to give you 1 weeks notice, but this may not always be possible.

How do you allocate spaces?

Spaces will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. We will accept a completed application form up to one term before you would like your child to travel on a Privilege Pass.

If we are able to offer you a space we will send you a letter confirming the date when your child may start to travel on the contract vehicle and request payment from you. You will be contacted approximately 4 weeks before the space is due to expire prior to the start of a new school year to confirm if you wish to reapply for a Privilege Pass.
