2022 school travel applications are now open

Students who need a travel pass for 2022 can apply now. A new application will need to be

Submitted if they are applying for a school travel pass for the first time, or if they are requesting an additional travel entitlement as a result of a new shared parental responsibility situation.

(eg joint custody)

Students who change address, school, campus location, or who have repeated a year or  received an expiry notification for Transport of NSW for their school travel entitlement should renew or update their details before the end of term 4. This will ensure that schools can endorse applications and current entitlements are updated and remain valid.

If a student’s distance eligibility has changed based on their grade the system will automatically update their entitlement if they meet the new criteria. If they do not meet the new eligibility criteria, they will receive an expiry notification via email. 

Students who have an entitlement approved under a medical condition that is due to expire will receive a notification advising them to re-apply. 

Students living in rural and regional (R&R) areas should receive their travel passes at the start of the new school year from their nominated transport operator. It may come via the school or be sent directly to them at home. Note: some R&R operators do not issue travel passes. Students/parents should confirm with their nominated operator if they do not receive a pass. 

School Student Transport Scheme site change 

On 1 October 2021 the School Student Transport Scheme (SSTS) information and application portal was moved to transportnsw.info. This will assist families to find all their travel information in the one place.
