16 plus travel card

Information for learners

A Kent 16+ Travel Card will give you unlimited bus travel in Kent at any time - including evenings, weekends and holidays.

This will help reduce the cost of travel. Use it to travel to school activities, work placements, jobs or for socialising with friends.

If you are a resident of Kent and attend a participating school, college or work based learning provider you can apply.

How much it costs

The maximum cost of a pass is £520 for the year.

Based on your circumstances you could be entitled to financial assistance for the cost of your Kent 16+ Travel Card.

Any help with costs will be determined by, and at the discretion of your school, college or work-based learning provider.

Information for providers

We have introduced the Kent 16+ Travel Card for all post-16 learners starting their learning in September 2012.

Unless applicants have already begun their post-16 studies, the card is in place of post-16 travel passes currently issued by us. It must be ordered by the school, college or training provider on behalf of the learners.

Read the guidance for providers.

How to apply

Your school, college or employer (if you are in work-based learning) will tell you if they are participating in the scheme.

To receive your Kent 16+ Travel Card by the start of term in September your application needs to be processed by 27 July 2012.

Find out more about how to apply.

Applications need to be made directly to your school, college or employer - not to us.
