The Pembrokeshire Passport, a joint initiative between the Pembrokeshire Access Group and Pembrokeshire County Council, is a bright orange wallet with plastic pockets that disabled people can put information in to help make using the bus and train easier and give people more independence.
The passport, which received initial funding from Health Challenge Pembrokeshire, can be used anytime day or night and at weekends and will tell bus drivers and rail staff what help a person may need on a journey; aiding communication and holding important information about the support that might be needed if a person has a problem on their journey.
The Passport can be used on any bus in Pembrokeshire and on Arriva trains and stations. Taxi drivers will also know about the Passport.
Anyone can have a Passport but the people it will help the most are those who get very nervous, people who need assistance, people who find it hard to communicate, people who don’t speak English as a first language and people with conditions and behaviours that the driver might not understand if something happens.
The Passport wallet has plastic pockets that you can put words, pictures, or cards in to show where you want to travel or the help you might need.
The passport does not give free or discounted travel on the buses or trains.
