Concessionary card holders can travel for free at the following times:
- Mobility: 24/7

A look back at transport in 2021
As we near the end of another year, we've taken a look back at some of the transport highlights and progress made on a number of exciting projects that will make travelling around the city easier.
Have your say
There's just over a week left to tell us what you think about electric vehicles. We're running two surveys until 31 December 2021.
Take this one if you use an electric vehicle, or this one if you don't - we still want to hear from you.
Your responses will help to shape our future work in this area, and everyone who takes part can enter into a prize draw for a £50 shopping voucher.
 Walking and cycling
Derby Road
Works start on 4 January on Derby Road, between Lenton Boulevard and Balfour Road. The scheme will include converting two existing crossings to Toucan crossings, and creating one new Toucan crossing, as well as widening three central refuges to make crossing the road easier. View more information here.
Hucknall Road
Also on 4 January, work will begin on the next phase of the Hucknall Road scheme, which will improve the route for people walking, cycling or using the bus. Work will take place on the southernmost, inbound section of Hucknall Road, close to the Valley Road roundabout. For more information visit the webpage.
City centre cycle routes - Canal Street
The next phase of this project to make cycling through the city centre easier will begin in early January, between Trent Street and London Road island. Temporary shared use cycle and pedestrian walkways and bus stops will be provided during works. View more information here.

We're currently consulting on the proposed designs and locations for gates, bollards, and signs to enforce the permanent closure to through traffic. Find out more and have your say by Wednesday 12 January.
