- preparation and monitoring of the home to school budget;
- payment of invoices in respect of home to school contracts, local bus contracts, scholar season tickets and pupil travel claims;
- administration of the collection of income relating to the Council's 'Privilege' transport scheme for pupils inter-authority recoupment; and
- Criminal Records Bureau applications for contract drivers on passenger transport services.
