School transport (Skolskjuts)

The municipality's obligation to arrange free transport to school for pupils with long or hazardous routes.

School transport (skolskjuts) means that the municipality arranges free transportation to and from school for pupils who have a long route to school, a route with traffic hazards, or a disability requiring transport.

Conditions

The right to school transport primarily applies to pupils at municipal schools. The distance that entitles a pupil to school transport varies between municipalities — typically 2–3 km for younger pupils and 4–6 km for older ones. School transport may be a school bus, public transit, taxi, or coordinated transport.
