  • Geographical mapping software, which measures the distance between the child’s home and school in terms of shortest walking, most direct and driving distances, makes assessing entitlements to free transport quick and easy
  • For students resident in England, distance factors are combined with free school meal or working tax credit eligibility to automatically determine statutory entitlements
     
• Built-in flexibility for local needs
  • Discretionary entitlements can be added to fill any spare capacity on vehicles
  • Authorities can pre-define how transport costs are apportioned between budget codes

Turn a time consuming administrative challenge into an efficient and simple process

Administering transport arrangements and booking vehicles requires timely and accurate access to information on children, schools, establishments, drivers and escorts. One Transport draws all the information needed directly from core data within One, making the process extremely efficient and minimising the need to re-enter data.

One Transport ensures the highest standard of provision by immediately reflecting any changes in the details or qualifications of the drivers and escorts, or the special transport needs support a child requires on their journey.

In addition to administrative efficiencies, financial management is made significantly easier with vehicle invoices and payments generated at the click of a button.
