Total Mobility

Kaupapa Tautoko Hari Hunga Hauā

The Total Mobility Scheme (TMS) provides passenger services travel for Hawke’s Bay residents, who are unable to use public transport due to a significant, permanent impairment.

The Total Mobility Scheme pays 50% of the cost of a passenger fare (up to a maximum amount) for those on the Scheme.

The scheme is administered by Hawke’s Bay Regional Council, and funded by both the Council and New Zealand Transport Agency.

How can I join the Total Mobility Scheme?

If you have a significant, permanent impairment which prevents you from using your own car or travelling on a bus, you will need to be assessed to make sure that you are genuinely in need of subsidised passenger travel, and that you meet the criteria of the Scheme.

How do I get assessed?

There is a brochure available which gives information about the scheme. This is available in related documents above or use the button link below. You will need to contact one of the organisations to be assessed and the assessor will ask you some questions about your mobility and may take a photo for an ID card.
