Home to School Transport Forecasted Savings

The request was partially successful.

Dear Oxfordshire County Council,

In your recent proposal to dramatically increase the cost to taxpayers in regards to transporting their children to their local school, you have published the following today (3 July 2013) on your website:

"Q:How much does the council estimate it will save if the proposal is adopted?

A: It is estimated the council would make an annual saving of at least £340,000 after a five-year period (i.e. once the policy had become established throughout all school years) as a result of an anticipated reduction in free transport provision."

I would like to see all of the specific financial data that supports this forecast. This would be the 5-year projection and any forecast beyond the first 5 years. I would also like to the Council to establish how accurate their estimate is.

Yours faithfully,

Shane Rae
