There are two kinds of travel concession
available to residents of Dacorum.
Bus Permits
The National Concessionary Fares scheme
entitles senior citizens and people qualifying as disabled to free
off peak local bus travel within England.
In addition Hertfordshire pass holders will
also be able to travel at any time (including peak periods)on bus
services across Hertfordshire.

Travel Vouchers
Travel Vouchers are available instead of
bus permits for residents with a permanent disability and to
registered blind residents. Travel Vouchers can be used for taxi,
private hire and community car journeys that start or finish within
Dacorum.
Eligible residents may have one book of £100
vouchers per year.
Disabled residents may have either a Bus Permit
or Travel Vouchers, but not both. Once the concession has been
issued, you cannot change it within the year, unless your
circumstances have changed.
From April 2006, Dacorum travel vouchers are
accompanied by a photocard.
