Who is this page for?

The information and application form are for organisations that care and transport disabled people living in Cambridgeshire.

What is an Organisational Blue Badge?

Organisational Blue Badges will only be issued to an organisation which:

  • cares for and transports disabled people who would meet one or more of the eligibility criteria for an individual Blue Badge; and
  • has a clear need for an organisational badge rather than using the individual Blue Badges of people it is transporting.

Organisational badges should only be used when transporting disabled people in their care who meet one or more of the eligibility criteria for a badge and must not be used for the employee’s benefit when they are carrying out other business on behalf of the organisation or for private use.

The organisation may be using a vehicle specifically adapted for the use of disabled passengers. If the vehicle is adapted, they must provide details and if the vehicle is licensed under the Disabled Passenger Vehicle (DPV) taxation class.

It is unlikely that taxi or private hire operators and community transport operators would be eligible for an Organisational Blue Badge as they are not usually concerned with the care of disabled people who would meet one or more of the eligibility criteria for a badge. Such operators are, of course, able to use an individual's Blue Badge when carrying that person as a passenger.

Badge use declaration

Your organisation must declare that:

  • drivers must not use an organisational badge for their personal use
  • failure to comply will be a disciplinary offence
  • extreme breaches of these rules could lead to dismissal
  • the maximum penalty for an organisation that fails to comply with these rules is £1,000 and for the person(s) found guilty of such breaches is dismissal
