The TT scheme (tilrettelagt transport, adapted transport) is a scheme for people with a disability who cannot use ordinary public transport. You get a TT card that provides subsidised transport.

Important: the rules vary

The TT scheme is run by the county councils (and by the City of Oslo, which has both municipal and county tasks), and the rules are not the same everywhere. Norway has 15 county councils, and the scheme is not set out in law: no applicant has an automatic right or claim to the offer, it is up to each county how it is designed. Below are some examples showing how much the rules can vary. Always check the rules of your own county, since these are only a few examples out of 15.

What is the TT card for?

According to Vestland county council, it applies to leisure trips and other trips not covered by other schemes, for example patient travel, commuting, or other state or municipal schemes. Trips to treatment are therefore not covered by TT, but by Patient travel.

Who can get a TT card?

You must have a disability that means you cannot use ordinary public transport. How long the condition must last, and what documentation is required, varies between counties. Many counties require a doctor's statement and that the condition is permanent.

Examples from some counties

These examples show how differently counties have designed the scheme, both in scope and in the model itself:

Vestland: TT card for leisure trips and other trips not covered by other schemes.
Oslo: A quota of 150 individual trips a year (2026). If you apply after 1 July, you get half the quota for that year.
Trøndelag: For you with a permanent disability who cannot, or has significant difficulty using ordinary public transport. You can apply at any time of year, and processing time is up to four weeks. The co-payment is 10 percent, or at least NOK 40 per trip.
Rogaland: You must be at least 6 years old and resident in the county, with a diagnosis that has lasted or will last more than one year. Both a self-declaration and a doctor's statement are required. Mental health conditions only qualify you as a user in special cases. The co-payment is 20 percent per trip.
Akershus: Here the scheme is designed differently, as a cash grant instead of a card with a trip quota. The basic grant was NOK 2,900 for the second half of 2026, and TT users who also qualify for the state TT scheme received an additional grant of NOK 19,700 for the same period. The application requires a doctor's statement and a self-declaration.

How to apply

The application goes to the county council. In some counties you submit it via the municipality, which assesses it first. Find the form and rules on your county council's website, and search for "TT-kort".

If you are refused

You can complain. The deadline and the complaints body are stated in the decision and in the county's regulations for the TT scheme.

Tip: If you need a car because of your disability, see Car benefit.
