Dear Parent/ Carer
I am writing to inform you that at the Cabinet Meeting on 20th November 2023, the Council agreed to carry out a consultation to review its current Home to School Transport (HTS) provision for children and young people in Rhondda Cynon Taf. The proposal sets out a new Home to School Transport Policy, which primarily maintains the generous discretionary transport and providing mainstream English, Welsh and Faith primary school, secondary school and college transport in line with relevant statutory distance criteria, which would be implemented from the start of the 2025/2026 academic year.
The details of the proposal and the opportunity to respond to the consultation can be found at: Consultation on the Council's Home to School Transport Policy | Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council (rctcbc.gov.uk)
Please note that the consultation starts on 27th November 2023 and will end at 5pm on 8th January 2024.
Kind Regards
Stephen Williams
Director for Highways, Streetcare and Transportation Services
