Transportation services and parking
Throughout the country, there are various support options for people who are temporarily or permanently restricted in their mobility. Journeys and transportation to doctors or therapies are financially supported by health insurance. You can find further information on the reimbursement of travel and transportation costs on the respective website of the health insurance provider, the ÖGK, BVAEB or SVS.
There are various subsidies for people with disabilities if they are restricted in their mobility: For example, you can receive financial support for the purchase of an assistance dog, a driving license or a vehicle. If you cannot reasonably be expected to travel by public transport or for other purchase costs, there are other funding options.
Ask the Social Ministry Service in your federal state. You can find the contact details of the 9 regional offices here:
Here you will find further information on mobility grants from the Ministry of Social Affairs:
Note: The basis for many subsidies is often the disability pass. This is an ID card for people with mobility impairments to obtain various benefits.
With the entry "Unreasonableness of using public transport due to permanent mobility restriction due to a disability" you can, for example, receive the following benefits:
- Exemption from motor-related insurance tax
- exemption from parking fees
- free highway vignette
The application is free of charge and is made via the Social Ministry Service.
