TOTAL MOBILITY SCHEME

 Discount Taxi Card Scheme

We are an agent for the Total Mobility Scheme (TMS) which is provided by the Waikato Regional Council and the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA). It covers 50% of the cost of a passenger fare (up to a maximum amount) for eligible people in the Hamilton and Waipa areas.  Those who are eligible include people who are unable to use public transport due to a significant, permanent impairment.


  • How can I join the Total Mobility Scheme?

    You may be able to join the scheme if you are unable to use your own car or travel on a bus. You will need to be assessed to make sure you meet the criteria of the Scheme.

  • How do I get assessed?

    Contact us! We can provide you with information about the scheme and book you in to have the assessment completed. We can visit you in your home, rest home or in our offices. Our staff will ask you some questions about your mobility and may take a photo for an ID card.

  • What will it cost me?

    If you are a member of Friends of Age Concern there is no cost. Non-members pay a fee of $40.
