This summer,
Suffolk County Council is asking all users of county council school
and college transport to provide a photograph that will be
incorporated in their travel pass.
This will bring Suffolk in line with neighbouring local
authorities, standard education transport practice across the
country and travel concession schemes for senior citizens and
disabled persons.
The benefits to introducing photos to the travel pass include
stopping fraud, preventing illegal duplication of the passes,
increase the likelihood of a lost pass being handed in and improve
safety on transport.
Students will also be offered a zero-cost option of using their
existing Explore card image.
The county council will be writing to all parents/guardians to
explain the next stages.
