Total Mobility
General
Funded in partnership by local and central government, the Total Mobility scheme assists eligible people, with long-term impairments to access appropriate transport to meet their daily needs and enhance their community participation. This assistance is provided in the form of subsidised door to door transport services wherever scheme transport providers operate. On the West Coast this service is provided by the taxi companies in Westport, Greymouth and Hokitika.
The Total Mobility scheme in the West Coast region operates in Westport, Greymouth and Hokitika and provides financial assistance by way of a voucher that allows registered users of the scheme to a 50% discount up to a maximum fare of $30. This includes taking you to medical appoints or to the supermarket. Total Mobility makes it easier by saving you up to half of the cost of a normal fare.
