Total mobility

Lady in total mobility taxi.Total Mobility is a nation-wide scheme aimed at assisting people with impairments to become more mobile and active in the community.

The scheme offers eligible clients 50% discount on taxi fares for transport in the Whangarei urban area.  A book of yellow vouchers is issued to each client, and one voucher is redeemed at the completion of each trip. The client must pay the remaining 50% at the time of travel.

The scheme is administered by the Northland Regional Council and funded by both the Whangarei District Council (60%) and Land Transport NZ (40%).

How do I know if I am eligible to join the scheme?

You will need to contact one of the Total Mobility agencies listed below and undergo an eligibility assessment to ensure you meet the national eligibility requirements as detailed by Land Transport NZ.  There may be a charge for this.
