Severn Card
If your child is not entitled to travel assistance, or isn't
offered a seat on the Vacant Seat Payment Scheme and can utilise
public transport, you can apply for a Severn
Card. Choose between a Worcester or Worcestershire Severn Card
which entitles your child to travel on services within the stated
area (Worcester or Worcestershire). Visit the Severn Card web page for details.
