How do I apply for a travel pass

You can get an application form for a travel pass from any Gateway to Care.  There is also a PDF version of the form which can be printed out.  You can also e-mail your request to us using the enquiry form on this web-page, and we will post an application form out to you.

You should complete the form, enclosed with a passport sized photograph of yourself and return it to a Gateway to Care.

Once your application has been approved, we will send you your travel pass.

If you are unsuccessful your photograph will be returned.

Do I need to be/or have been involved with a Specialist Service or have had Special Educational Provisions to be eligible for a bus pass ?
If there has been no previous contact with Specialist Services the Local Authority will normally seek independent medical advice, or check any register of people with disabilities which might be held by the applicant's local council.

What do I do if my pass is lost or stolen?
You need to complete a Replacement Bus Pass form, at any Gateway to Care.

Please note: The replacement Bus Pass application will be reassessed.

A further passport sized photograph will be required.

How long is my pass valid for ?
Your pass is valid for 5 years
