29 Jan 2013
Broadcast from London

School transport is one of the biggest movements of people on a daily basis, essential for fair access, but with a high impact on congestion. Plus, it's expensive with £1 billion spent by local authorities - half being spent on special education needs.

Find out how school travel needs, especially special needs, are being met; how discrimination can be avoided and; equality of access maintained under budget pressure.
