Mobility support is intended for Helsinki residents with a disability for whom using public transport is unreasonably difficult. The support we provide can be a transport service or other mobility support best suited to your situation.
We grant support for your commute to work or studies and travelling for errands and leisure activities. We do not grant support for health care-related trips, as Kela reimburses visits to doctors and examinations on the basis of health insurance.
You can apply for mobility support by filling in the mobility support application form. You need a medical certificate to accompany your application, in which your doctor has assessed your need for support.
Send your application to a service point of Social Work for People with Disabilities in your area of residence.
We will assess your situation and decide on the service. If you receive a positive decision for transport service, you will receive a payment card, which allows you to travel, as a rule, in Helsinki and nearby municipalities by taxi. You only make a copayment for the trips.
