Travelling to College

If you are aged under 19 as of 1st September and live more than 3 miles from College, you should apply for a subsidised travel pass from Lincolnshire County Council.

You can do this by applying online on the Lincolnshire County Council website, and then by selecting 'Apply Online' at the bottom of the page.
