I would like to request some data regarding the issue of concessionary bus passes by Devon County Council. May I please obtain:
– The number of concessionary passes which were issued and valid in June 2019.
– The number of concessionary passes which were issued and valid in June 2022.
If breakdowns of the different pass types are available (OAP / disabled etc), this would assist.
In response to the above queries, we can confirm the following:
| Total number of passes | Age | Disabled | |
| June 2019 | 146,291 | 137,848 | 8,443 |
| June 2022 | 143,374 | 135,229 | 8,145 |
Furthermore, if statistics regarding the numbers of applications for concessionary passes for the year 2019 and 2022 are available, this would greatly assist. I appreciate that we are only part way through 2022, so application figures from 1st January to 30th June for both years may be more appropriate.
We can confirm the following information:
Number of applications financial year 2019/20: 6,787
Number of applications financial year 2021/22: 10,055
