Passenger Transport Subsidy Scheme (PTSS) pilot

Find out more about the Passenger Transport Subsidy Scheme (PTSS) pilot.

From 2–13 December 2024, the Department of Transport (DoT) ran a small pilot of the new digital Passenger Transport Subsidy Scheme (PTSS) system with participating on-demand booking services (ODBSs), drivers and Taxi User Subsidy Scheme (TUSS) participants in the Perth metropolitan area.

In early 2025, the PTSS pilot will expand to several areas in regional WA with participating ODBSs.

Participation in the pilot is limited so we have a manageable scope to test our systems and help us ensure that journeys and payments go as smoothly as possible. Don’t worry if you’re not involved in the early stages of the pilot – existing TUSS participants and the taxi industry will still be transitioned to the new digital system by March 2025.

During the pilot, other TUSS participants will still need to use their existing TUSS card and vouchers to access their subsidy, and taxi drivers must continue to accept TUSS vouchers.
