East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood – Low income travel offers and bus gate exemption form

Extra support is now available for some households in East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood that meet the eligibility criteria.

Bristol City Council has announced extra travel offers and new bus gate exemptions for Blue Badge holders and residents on a low income as part of the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood trial.

Each household within the trial area on a low income that receives Council Tax Reduction and/or Housing Benefit and/or Universal Credit can choose between an extra £250 of First Bus tickets, a £150 voucher to buy a refurbished bike or a bus gate exemption for the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood trial area's three bus gates for 12 months. This cannot be renewed.

This is on top of £100 worth of bus tickets that households in the trial area will also receive.
