Subsidised Student Travel Passes
Health Futures UTC operates a generous travel subsidy scheme that benefits a significant number of our students, of all ages. Full details of eligibility and entitlements can be found in our Student Travel Subsidy Policy via the following link
An application form for student travel subsidy can be downloaded here:
Student Photo Card (16-18 year olds)
This is a scheme that enables 16-18 year old students to purchase an identity card, entitling them to travel on public transport at ‘child fare’ rates.
Students DO NOT have to be eligible for, or in receipt of, a travel pass subsidy from Health Futures UTC to apply for this card. It is available to all 16-18 year old students through Network West Midlands.
More information about the scheme, together with costs and details about how to apply for the Photo Card, can be found at http://www.networkwestmidlands.com/Tickets/16-18/16-18_home.aspx
Health Futures Travel Buddy Scheme
A number of our students choose to travel together on public transport, helping them to make friends and giving them someone to share their journey with. We do this through post code matching.
