Applications for an older person's bus pass

Applications for an older person's bus pass must be submitted to the local authority where you live, either in person or by post. An application form is available to download below.

We are responsible for issuing the passes, however, there are numerous locations across the county you can visit to submit your application.

If you are a resident of the City of York, you should apply to them.
