The responsibilities of county authorities/municipalities

County authorities are usually responsible for offering school transport to pupils in primary and secondary school in their county. They are responsible for all transport due to long school routes, disabilities, and temporary injuries or illnesses.

Application

Applications for school transport must be submitted by schools. Permanent changes during the school year, e.g. new school start and finish times and new home addresses, must also be submitted by the school. School transport services are provided by Ruter on behalf of the municipality or county authority.
