Young people registered in Borgholm Municipality who have been granted boarding allowance can order a leisure travel pass. The autumn-term pass is valid from 15 August to 31 December 2026 and is intended to make travel between home and boarding accommodation easier.
What happened?
Orders are submitted through the municipality's online service. Applicants must provide their name and home address and attach the decision granting boarding allowance. The municipality has emailed guardians of students starting their second and third years of upper-secondary school with activation information. Anyone who did not receive the email is asked to contact the municipality.
Location
Borgholm, Öland, Kalmar län
Impact and significance
The ticket can reduce the cost of traveling home and provide greater security for young people who live elsewhere during the school week. However, the right follows the published terms and conditions and is not a general free ticket for all high school students. WUA does not verify population records, additional decisions or the exact traffic areas of the ticket.
Background
Representatives of the municipal board and the housing company describe the investment as support for young people who live in, among other places, Kalmar. The municipal page indicates the validity period but not all conditions of use, restrictions or what applies in the event of a lost card. These details need to be read in the e-service and ticket information.
Latest update
The ticket is valid from August 15 and ordering is open according to the page. Applicants should use the municipality's official service and not send decisions with personal data to WUA. In the event of missing information or technical problems, Borgholm's contact methods apply. This summary is based on the stated public source and describes the state of affairs when the WUA reviewed the material on 17 August 2026. It does not replace the authority, municipality or organizer's own practical information. If dates, times, conditions or execution have changed, the later information on the original page shall be used. Title and text have been editorially reworded to separate verifiable information from the source's own judgments. No data outside the cited material has been used to fill gaps, and the reader should follow the source links for full context. The data has been checked against the page title, date, place, amount and status where such fields exist. WUA has not verified things that the source itself leaves open, for example final costs, number of participants, permission or future results. Such uncertainties are stated in the text and must be followed in later official announcements.
