Total MobilityKaupapa 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 75% 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.

There is a brochure available which gives information about the scheme. This is available in related documents above or use the button link below. 

TOTAL MOBILITY BROCHURE

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?

You will need to contact one of the assessing agencies listed on this page. An assessor will ask you some questions about your mobility and may take a photo for an ID card. 

What will it cost me?

Membership of the scheme is free, however the agency who assesses you may charge a small fee if you are not a member of their organisation.

What happens after I’ve been assessed?

If your application meets the criteria for the Total Mobility Scheme, Hawke’s Bay Regional Council will issue you with:

  • A photo ID card with a magnetic strip which entitles you to 75% discount on passenger service fares (some conditions apply). You will need to show this card to the driver each time you travel.
  • Guidelines on the conditions of use of the card, including information about the service providers and many of the common questions people ask about the scheme.
