What is the Blue Badge Scheme?

The Blue Badge scheme is for people with severe mobility problems which makes them unable or virtually unable to walk or those who are registered blind. It allows Blue Badge holders to park in restricted areas. For example, if you have a blue badge you can park free and for any length of time at on-street pay and display areas.

Blue badges can be issued to adults, children or to organisations providing care. They can be used for badge holders who are drivers or passengers in any vehicle. It is illegal for other people such as friends or relatives to use the badge when the badge holder is not travelling with them.

A Blue Badge is valid for three years and the cost of a Blue Badge is £20.

Glasgow's Low Emission Zone (LEZ) officially began on 1 June 2023. Further details on LEZ is available.
