Nottingham continues to go above and beyond on travel for older and disabled residents
The arrangements for concessionary travel for older and disabled people have been approved for 2025/26 by Nottingham City Council at its Executive Board meeting.
A nationwide scheme – the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS) gives older and disabled residents free off-peak bus travel, between 9.30am – 11pm weekdays and all day on weekends.
Nottingham City Council is continuing to go above and beyond this statutory duty to provide:
- free travel on the tram for city residents during the same period as per ENCTS conditions. The tram is fully accessible with low floors and level boarding, which is important for older and disabled residents
- a companion travel facility attached to passes issued for city residents who are sight impaired, have a severe walking disability or a severe learning disability and would have difficulty travelling alone
- free travel on the bus or tram for disabled city residents before 9:30am This is funded using Bus Services Improvement Plan funding
