The English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS) provides free off-peak local bus travel to eligible older people and eligible disabled people on bus services in England. Locally, the scheme is administered by travel concession authorities (TCAs).

This guidance is to assist TCAs in assessing the eligibility of disabled applicants for the ENCTS.

It applies only to England. Concessionary travel is a devolved policy area, and legislation and assessment of eligibility regarding concessionary travel in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are matters for the appropriate devolved administration.
