The Total Mobility Taxi Subsidy Scheme is a scheme for people with disabilities. The scheme is funded by the New Zealand Transport Agency/Waka Kotahi and Regional Councils across New Zealand, to provide funding options to people with disabilities or mobility issues.
To be eligible for the scheme, you will have a disability or be experiencing long term mobility issues. An assessment will be required to ensure you fit the criteria. This can be organised through Horizons Regional Council or one of the agencies listed below. You will not need a medical certificate unless one is requested at the time of the assessment.

Once your eligibility has been approved you will receive a subsidy card in the mail, with your photo on. This card will activate your subsidy when using approved Taxis services. This information will be provided to you with your card. It will take about 10 working days for your card to arrive.
The subsidy you receive will be a 75% discount up to a capped amount. The capped amount for each district is shown below.
