More school children are to be able to travel to school by bus as a result of North Yorkshire County Council being allocated £112,000 for each of the next two years by the government.
The authority has been told that the money is to be used to support the delivery of school travel plans and to show that it has increased the number of travel plans said county councillor Peter Sowray, the authority's executive member for transport and the environment.
It also aims to reduce the number of children travelling to school by car and encourage them to go to school by cycle, bus or on foot.
