Use our Transport Eligibility Checker to get an indication of whether your child may be eligible for transport to a mainstream school.
The Transport Eligibility Checker only provides an indication of potential eligibility at that time. You MUST apply for transport assistance online to receive a formal decision based on your circumstances (i.e. admissions preferences and distance to school) and any changes to school provision that might affect eligibility (e.g. school closures, amalgamations).
The eligibility checker will tell you if the distance to a school is far enough to qualify and identify if there are closer schools that you must have applied to, to be eligible for transport assistance. More information on eligibility criteria can be found in our Frequently Asked Questions section.
The eligibility checker result is not an award of transport assistance. You must still make a formal application for transport assistance. If you have any queries please contact us.
Please note the online transport application process for pupils commencing September 2026 is now available on EA Connect.
