Subsidised Pass Plus Extra Scheme

Staffordshire County Council's Road Safety & Sustainable Travel Unit is responsible for the administration of the Staffordshire PASS PLUS EXTRA subsidised scheme.

PASS PLUS is a Driving Standards Agency sponsored scheme to promote improved standards of driving, primarily among novice drivers.

The Council's contribution towards making the roads in Staffordshire safer, is to provide local drivers with a subsidy of up to 66% off the course cost, this means that by applying through the county council you will only pay £60. This subsidy is to provide financial assistance to those who wish to participate in the PASS PLUS EXTRA scheme.

Staffordshire Moorlands and South Staffordshire residents can benefit further from the scheme, as extra subsidies have been provided by the Staffs Moorlands Safer Community District Partnership and the South Staffs Safer Community Partnership. This means that these residents only have to pay £40 to complete the PASS PLUS EXTRA scheme; the aim is to increase the numbers of clients applying from these areas.
