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%).
