School transportation
Last updated: 27.01.2026The municipality organizes free transportation for preschool and elementary school students or assists with transporting or escorting the student in the following cases, when the student attends a school designated by the municipality:
- the student is in pre-2nd grade and their commute to school is 3 km or longer
- the student is in grades 3-9 and their commute to school is 5 km or longer
- The journey to school without transportation would be too difficult, burdensome or dangerous for the student, taking into account the student's age or other circumstances. The difficulty or danger of the journey to school is assessed based on the school's chalk program and the burdensomeness of the journey based on an expert opinion.
If the student attends a school other than the one designated by the municipality, school travel costs will only be granted for a special reason, which may be related to health or another discretionary reason. Attendance at schools in a foreign municipality is not supported in terms of travel costs. The city of Lahti assigns a middle school place to the students of Vesikansa.
