PTSS for drivers

This section provides guidance for passenger transport drivers about their PTSS responsibilities and how to safely transport people with disability.

The Passenger Transport Subsidy Scheme (PTSS) replaces the Taxi User Subsidy Scheme (TUSS) from 1 March 2025.

PTSS is a subsidy available to eligible people with disability travelling in on-demand rank or hail (taxi) vehicles.

From 1 March 2025, all taxi drivers in WA should be prepared to accept PTSS. 

There will be a transition period between 1 March and 30 September 2025, where TUSS cards and vouchers must continue to be accepted by taxi drivers.
