Disability Travel Card Program
The Disability Travel Card™ provides identification to a person with a permanent disability, which will allow an adult attendant, traveling with the person with a permanent disability, to travel at no cost.
Reduced fares will be granted to a person with a permanent disability, unable to travel alone, (regardless of age) and accompanied by an adult attendant, if such person with a permanent disability has received authorization from Easter Seals Nova Scotia (or any of Easter Seals Canada’s affiliated members).
Only persons with a permanent disability, who require a support person when traveling, can apply for the card. The applicant must agree to follow the Terms and Conditions for use of the card.
