Travel Factor

How frequently the student uses this method of travel. For example, if a student travels by bus to school only three days a week, a travel factor of 0.6 is entered in this field.

Note: Select the check boxes to specify the days when the student uses each form of transport.
The travel factor and the transport code determine the amount the student is debited for travel. For example, if the selected transport method has a fee of $100 and a travel factor of 0.6 is entered, the student is debited $60.

Tip: Set the Travel Factor to zero when the student no longer uses a travel method. This ensures that they are not charged.
