We are transport providers for the Total Mobility Scheme in Hawke’s Bay. This is a subsidised transport scheme administered by Hawke’s Bay Regional Council and NZTA – ask your friendly Viv’s driver
What is the Total Mobility Scheme?
The Total Mobility Scheme provides discounted travel for people who are unable to use public transport easily or who have
mobility/cognitive impairments.
Talk to your local Age Concern to see if you qualify
Eligible users will be provided with an electronic card by the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council. These can be used anywhere in New Zealand where the scheme operates.
Your fare is subsidised by 75% per trip, up to a maximum subsidy. The Total Mobility scheme only contributes to the travel element of the total fare.
Our drivers will get you to and from your destination and provide further assistance as needed. We provide independence and peace of mind for you and your family, caregivers, and professional agencies.
