The programme provides step-by-step support on how to use public transport, including reading timetables, identifying the correct bus or train, and asking the right questions to build their navigation skills.
Travel trainer Donna Jackson said: “Not only does this help those with additional needs lead a more independent life, but it also helps them become more sociable.
“It’s lovely to see pupils interact with others while on the bus or train, and these skills positively impact all areas of their lives.
“Travelling solo really is a life skill, and it’s a fantastic scheme to be a part of.”
