Rodbaston Transport Information
Transport to Rodbaston College could not be easier with local designated pickup points throughout the Staffordshire and South Staffordshire areas.
College Minibuses 2025/26
The college has several minibuses and operates a number of local pick up routes.
If the route you require is operated by one of our college minibuses, you will need to complete our transport application form below. This form will show you all of our pick up point locations.
Once an application has been received, our transport team will advise how to make a deposit payment to secure your seat. As we have limited seats on our minibuses, a seat cannot be allocated for any route until payment is received.
For some college students, transport may be fully or partially funded subject to bursary funding from the college. You can find out more information about bursaries here. Please note that bursary applications for September 2025 will be live from the first week of June.
All college minibuses are fitted with tracking systems, safety belts and a college employed driver.
All routes operated by South Staffordshire College are subject to last minute changes to timings and pick up points.
If you have any questions regarding the college operated routes, please contact our Transport team on 01785 710598 or transport@southstaffs.ac.uk.
