A new plan for teenage transport to schools and colleges will be available from the start of the next school year.
The improved scheme from Hertfordshire County Council aims to help students from the age of 16 to 18 travel independently and in confidence.
It has been set up in collaboration with further education colleges, and will provide free training to students, giving them practice and training on their journeys alongside a travel buddy.
Council cabinet member for education and skills, Chris Hayward said: “This innovative programme will support the student getting around, as they prepare for adulthood – it’s important that young people do not miss out on gaining these essential travel skills.”
