About the ‘LTA Cares’ Fund
This fund is administered by the National Council of Social Service (NCSS).
Persons with physical disabilities who are unable to take public buses and the MRT, and are completely dependent on taxis as their mode of transportation can look to a fund that helps pay for their taxi fares.
The “LTA Cares” Fund, previously called the Taxi Subsidy Scheme, is available for working adults and students with physical disabilities.
