experimental project support for children with medical care.
Last Updated May 21, 2024
Outline and Purpose
Yokohama City has launched the experimental project program to support children who have medical care and cannot take a school bus.
The purpose is to create an environment where children can go to school safely and to reduce the burden on parents.
From 2024, a new school support system will be implemented using welfare vehicles. Details of the system will be posted on this page.
Those who are considering using the system (guardians)
Children who are subject to the system
- elementary school student elementary school student students who are not able to take a school bus mainly because of the need for medical care.
- elementary school student students whose physical condition and rhythm of life are stable and have decided to go to school (including those who are enrolled in can use this project to aim for a stable school)
- Parents wishing to use the welfare vehicle business and parents can cooperate with the school.
- Parents agree to provide personal information to businesses that are entrusted with the welfare vehicle business.
※In the case of new use, we will conduct a survey on request for use through schools. In addition, usage adjustments may be made based on objective figures in schools.

Those who are considering participating in the system (businesses)
Purpose of the System Review
- From the conclusion of a contract by bidding, we will change to a list registration system for businesses based on a common unit price setting, and make it a voluntary contract that ensures fairness, transparency and competitiveness.
- By the roster registration system, information such as the number of days that can be operated from each company is accurately grasped, and it is easy for businesses that can cooperate with a small number of times to enter.
- Schools match each month so that elementary school student students who rarely attend school once a month or once a week, can also use it.
- For monthly matching, we will create certain matching rules that take into account the relationship between the business operator and elementary school student students.
