Information requested

What has been the number of concessionary fare passes issued in Dundee in each of the past five years for each of the following categories:

Disabled Disabled plus companion Visually impaired Visually impaired plus companion 60 plus

Response

The table below shows the cardholder statistics for each card type category, for the Dundee City Council area, for the last 5 years (2017-2013 inclusive). These figures are taken from the local authority card management system and relate to the number of cardholders with a valid card issued to them. As cardholder personal circumstances change, these figures can fluctuate on a monthly basis so for consistency, I have provided cardholder numbers as at August for each year.

Transport Scotland does not hold any information about the total number of cards issued over a 12 month period as one cardholder may be issued with more than one card during the 12 months. This could be due to someone renewing their card, reporting a card lost and obtaining a replacement or being issued with a new card due to a change of circumstances. The information below therefore shows the number of registered cardholders and not the total number of cards issued.

Year Card Category Disabled Disabled +1 Visually Impaired Visually Impaired +1 Over 60 Aug 2017 1,086 4,622 175 346 30,857 Aug 2016 1,181 4,297 190 363 30,595 Aug 2015 1,177 3,818 219 372 31,506 Aug 2014 964 2,799 222 344 31,314 Aug 2013 910 2,690 234 351 30,859
