CHANGES are being made to the way concessionary bus passes are organised in Dorset.
The county council is taking back responsibility for concessionary bus pass applications and has contracted the Hampshire-based company Euclid Ltd, which specialises in producing and issuing ID cards, to manage the process. It means that from next Monday, April 1 residents will need to send application forms for their concessionary fares bus pass to Euclid Ltd.
Current pass holders should receive their renewal bus pass in the post by the end of this week.
Residents applying for an older persons or disabled persons bus pass for the first time can apply by downloading an application form from dorsetforyou.com or by collecting an application form from their district or borough council or from their local library.
Enquiries can be made by email to dorsetenquiries@euclid.ltd.uk or by telephone on 0300 330 1201.
