About the Older Person's Travel Pass
As part of the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme, Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) are able to issue the Older Person's Travel Pass to eligible residents within the West Midlands county.
The scheme gives people of state pensionable age, or eligible people with a disability in England, free travel on local buses between the hours of 09:30 - 23:00 Monday to Friday, and all day Saturday, Sunday and on Bank Holidays.
Holders of passes bearing a TfWM logo are also entitled to free travel on the Midland Metro tram and on trains operating within the Network West Midlands area.
Each pass bears the English Rose graphic and the name of the issuing authority, in this case, Transport for West Midlands (TfWM).
Individual authorities may specify enhancements to the scheme within their own local areas. Details of any enhancements offered will be available from the local authority who issued the pass. TfWM offer cards to those people living within the West Midlands county.
How to apply for your pass:
For people living within the West Midlands county, which covers Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Solihull, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton, your pass will be issued by Transport for West Midlands (TfWM). You can download an application from the Network West Midlands website.
If you live outside of the West Midlands county, your Older Person's Travel Pass will be issued by the authority who administers your local concessionary travel scheme.
