Concessionary fares

If you live in Stroud District and have a disability you may be eligible for a bus pass or travel tokens (you can choose which). A bus pass will entitle you to free travel on registered bus services: travel tokens also give free bus travel, but there is a limit to the number of tokens that can be issued to an individual per year. See our A-Z entry for contact details and further information.

Blue (formerly orange) badge scheme

Blue badges give registered blind people and those who are unable or virtually unable to walk the ability to park close to the facilities and services they need to use. See Gloucestershire Social Services' information sheet:
