We’re proud to see our students’ voices making a difference!
During the last academic year, Leeds City College students, based at our Park Lane and Quarry Hill campuses, explored issues affecting their communities, focusing on bus safety and air pollution.
They researched bus franchising, created a petition and met with West Yorkshire Combined Authority to call for:
🚌 Safer, cleaner and more reliable buses
⚡ More electric buses
⏲️ 24-hour disabled bus passes
It’s fantastic to see their campaigning contributing to positive change, with 24-hour disabled bus passes now set to be introduced nationwide from April 2027.
Well done to everyone involved!
Disability rights and sustainable transport campaigners have pushed for time restrictions on disabled bus passes to be scrapped for many years. This is because accessible and affordable public transport is good for both the climate and people.
