School transport application times for the 2024–2025 school year

News

School transportation is primarily arranged by public modes of transport, in which case the student receives a free-of-charge schoolchild's travel card. In exceptional cases, however, taxi transportation can be arranged.

The school transport application for the 2024–2025 school year should be returned as follow: 

  • students who begin grades 7-9: before March 28, 2024 
  • students who begin grades 1-6: before April 30, 2024 
  • students who need special support: before May 31, 2024 (or as soon as you know which school the student will start in the fall.

Apply for school transportation through Wilma. You cannot fill in Wilma applications by a mobile app. 

If you need help in applying, you can go to a Vantaa Info service point in Korso, Myyrmäki (also multilingual service counseling) or Tikkurila (also multilingual service counseling). Check their contact information here. 

You can also watch a video: How to apply school transportation through Wilma. The video is in Finnish, but you can find English subtitles in the settings. 

A new school transfer application must be completed, if  

  • the student's school changes  
  • the student's home address changes, or  
  • if the school transfer decision is not valid for the 2024-2025 school year. 

A new transportation application need not be completed if the student has been granted school transportation for several academic years and the information has not changed. If the decision is valid, the school travel card can be downloaded at Vantaa info in the summer. A student ID card must be included.
