The national concessionary travel pass allows you to enjoy free off-peak travel on local buses anywhere in England. The national free entitlement operates between 9.30 and 23.00 Monday to Friday and all day at weekends and on public holidays.
The Nottinghamshire scheme is run by the County Council and operates to national guidelines. These specify that free travel passes are available for people who qualify on grounds of age or certain forms of disabliity. Details of these criteria can be found in the scheme leaflet which can be downloaded below.
The scheme no longer provides a free pass automatically at the age of 60, instead the qualifying age is now linked to the state pension age. To see when you will qualify for a free pass on age grounds follow this link to the government state pension age calculator.
All applications for free travel passes should be made by post using application forms that are available to download below. Copies of these forms can also be picked up from District Council offices, libraries, County Contact points, bus stations and other information outlets.
If you live in the City of Nottingham please visit their Citycard web pages.
