There are free parking spaces for Orange Badge Holders in all the Council's car parks, and you will find on-street parking spaces reserved for orange badge holders in many city and town locations. In Bath, these are located outside the Guildhall, on New Orchard Street and outside the Theatre Royal. Please note that there are time limits on all on-street parking bays – look at the signs near the bay for more information.

All on-street parking (single and double yellow lines) is free to Orange Badge Holders for up to 3 hours, but you are not exempt from the tow-away scheme is your vehicle is thought to be creating a hazard.

Many buses in the area now have low floors for easy access, including the new park&ride buses operating from three car-parks around the city. These are accessible by wheelchair users, and there are secure spaces for you and your wheelchair.
