Driving sick students

Primary and lower secondary school pupils who are temporarily ill and in need of transport are entitled to transport if:

• The student does not have the opportunity to use public transportation
• The student has a registered address in Sonderborg Municipality
• Due to illness or disability, the student is only able to follow the general education at school if the student is transported to and from school
• The student can present an opinion from the doctor, possibly a medical certificate, if necessary
• The pupil is not able to transport himself to and from school on his own help if a sick bicycle, a wheelchair or similar aid is made available to the pupil.
• The student does not go to private school or free school

Please be aware that:

• The granted transport does not necessarily include the entire journey between home and school, but can also include travel from home to the nearest public transport.
• The transport includes one ride from home and one ride to home per. day.
• As a rule, transport to and from the population register address is granted. If the parents do not live together, have joint custody and both live in Sønderborg Municipality, driving can also take place to the custodial parent on the days when the child lives with him.
• The decision on driving license is assessed based on the submitted application form.
• The student may be asked to submit a medical certificate as documentation or may discuss the student's health issue with an exercise therapist.

You have the option of being responsible for the transport yourself and receiving a travel allowance as compensation, which is calculated according to the state's lowest rate for travel.

You can apply for a travel allowance by sending an email via secure mail for inspected transport.

Once we have processed your application, you will be notified with further details. For onward travel, please contact Sydtrafik on tel. 88 72 44 72.

The student must be ready half an hour + driving time before meeting time each morning. In the afternoon, a taxi will come as close to the desired pick-up time at the school as possible, however, there may be a waiting time of up to 30 min.

If the driver needs to be able to contact your child in the afternoon (in the event of a delay, if the driver cannot find the student, etc.), you must state the child's mobile phone number in the application form or to Sydtrafik. 

If the vehicle does not arrive, needs to be cancelled or orders need to be changed, please contact Sydtrafik, who is responsible for coordinating transportation, on tel. +45 88 72 44 72. Phone hours are 08.00 am - 15.00 pm on weekdays.

In case of cancellation early in the morning at 06.00-08.00, contact Sydtrafik on +45 88 72 44 72
