National Travel Concession Scheme

Central Government have decided that from 1st April 2011 responsibility for bus passes is transferred from the District Council to the County Council.

So what does this mean?

• Current bus passes will still remain valid until their expiry date.
• Financial constraints will mean non-continuation of some discretionary elements such as taxi tokens and rail card contributions.
• The way you apply for a new bus pass is different. You must apply by post, or alternatively you can present yourself at City Hall in Lincoln.
• The option for doing pass applications and renewals on-line is also being developed.
• These options gives you a choice of how to obtain your pass but please do not apply any earlier than 21 days in advance of the due date.
• Application forms and an information leaflet about the scheme is available from libraries, Local District Council Offices, other key access centres and online.
