Our children are at risk. In Rhondda Cynon Taf, many families are struggling to afford alternative transport for their children due to the escalating cost of living crisis. This leaves our kids exposed to potential dangers as they find other ways to get to and from school.

We believe that every child has a right to safe, reliable transportation to and from school. It is crucial that we ensure this basic need is met so that our children can focus on their education without worrying about how they will get there.

In the UK, it's estimated that over 30% of parents struggle with the cost of school transportation (source: National Travel Survey). This statistic is likely higher in areas like ours where the cost of living crisis has hit hard.

We call upon local authorities in Rhondda Cynon Taf to mandate free school transport for all schools within its jurisdiction. By doing so, we can protect our children and ease some financial burden off families already grappling with economic hardship.

Please sign this petition and help us make free school transport a reality for all students in Rhondda Cynon Taf.
