School Transport Manager

The school transport system aims to administer the provision of transport to school and college of children who are the responsibility of a local education authority. The system is set up to administer:

• authorisation of transport awards
• allocation of children to routes

It is possible to record on the system multiple awards of transport per child as a child may receive many awards over the years. The system can record multiple routes per award.

The system aims to prove an easy to use storage place for data about LEA transport. In doing this it provides a single source of management information on the subject.

Data Stored

The system is able to store the following data:
• family address details and names of parents or guardians;
• child details (date of birth, special needs notes, care order notes etc);
• children’s school histories (name of school, dates started and left);
• histories of awards and transport allocated to a child;
• schools and types of school;
• categories of award (distance, special needs etc.);
• types of passes (free, half, student etc);
• types of transport (bus, train, taxi, etc.);
• transport contractors, routes and contracts awarded to contractors;
• details of escorts; cost codes and budgets.

Reports

The system provides several standard reports:
• Reports by school, route, and type of transport, showing the children currently in receipt of transport who fall into these categories.
• A report providing details of all the children to be transported by a Contractor

Archiving Data

The system allows you to archive Transport Awards and Child Details, thus excluding the data from the main processing whilst still giving access to it.
