The Concessionary Bus Travel Act 2007 (Variation of Reimbursement and Other Administrative Arrangements) Order 2010
This Order relates to the mandatory national concession which entitles older and disabled people to free off-peak travel on local bus services, and discretionary concessionary travel schemes which entitle certain categories of people to free or discounted local travel at the discretion of local authorities. Amendments of the Transport Act 2000 remove responsibility for administering the mandatory national concession from non-metropolitan district councils in England which are not unitary authorities and confer responsibility instead on county councils. Amendments of the Transport Act 1985 remove non-unitary and metropolitan district councils in England from the definition of ‘local authority’ in section 93(8) of that Act so they may no longer establish and administer discretionary concessionary travel schemes.
