Free travel for young people

Free Travel Bursary for Young People in Gloucestershire

Partners across Gloucestershire have been working together to develop ‘The One Plan’ a shared vision for children, young people, and families across the county. You can check it out here.

A huge part of this plan is making sure young people’s voices shape what happens. One thing we’ve heard loud and clear is that travel is a big challenge routes can be limited, tickets are expensive, and that makes it harder to meet friends, access services, or get to school, college, or work.

That’s why we’re really excited to share that, thanks to partnership work through The One Plan network, a Free Travel Bursary Scheme is now available for young people in Gloucestershire.

We know it won’t solve everything, but it’s an important step in helping young people feel more connected and supported, and to see what difference free transport can make.

If you’re aged 14–25, you can apply for a bursary easily using the online referral form.

• You can apply for yourself

• A family member can apply for you

• Or a professional (like a youth worker or teacher) can make a referral

We want as many young people as possible to benefit so please help spread the word!
