Talent and opportunity exist in every part of South Yorkshire, and connecting the two is key to unlocking the region’s full potential. The Zoom Pass plays a vital role in helping thousands of young people access education, training, and employment, while saving families hundreds of pounds each year.
He added: “In Barnsley, under-18s now also benefit from MiCard – a bold scheme re-introducing free travel which I hope we’ll be able to roll out beyond Barnsley in a few years.
“South Yorkshire’s young children deserve the best possible start in life. And I’m determined to give them the freedom and choice to get to where they need to be. I want public transport to be accessible and affordable, so that cost is never a barrier to opportunity.”
