Transportation options

Are you unable to use normal public transportation due to physical or psychological limitations? You may be eligible for collective transportation from VP Flex Transportation.

 Collective transportation means that you travel with several people at the same time. The transport area covers the territory of the municipalities Voorne aan Zee and Nissewaard. You can also travel with the regiotaxi to so-called point destinations. These are important destinations that may fall outside the transport area, such as hospitals. The point destinations can be found on the VP Flex Vervoer website . 

 To use VP Flex Transportation, you can apply for a pass through Wmo.  

Requirements

Do you live in Voorne aan Zee and are 75 years of age or older? Then you are entitled to VP Flex Transport at the Wmo rate. You are entitled to this transportation based on your age. You only need to submit an application, no further investigation is required.

Do you live in Voorne aan Zee and are younger than 75 years of age? Then you may be eligible for VP Flex Transport at the Wmo rate if you are unable to travel by regular public transport due to:
o Physical limitations due to disability or old age.

If you use a wheelchair cab, it is important that you are transported safely while doing so. Therefore, as of July 1, 2021, your wheelchair must meet ISO standard 7178-19 (the so-called impact test). Does your wheelchair not meet the standard as of this date? Then you may no longer travel with the wheelchair cab. The cab driver will have to refuse you for this reason. 

Are you dependent on a wheelchair? Then we recommend that you check whether it meets the ISO standard. You can recognize this by the hook symbols on the frame of your wheelchair. Or you can find it in your wheelchair's manual. If your wheelchair does not comply, contact your wheelchair supplier. They can discuss with you what the next steps are.
