<p>In accordance with the Disabled Persons (Badges for Motor Vehicles) (England) Regulations
2000, our guidance to local authorities makes clear the eligibility criteria for issuing
an organisational Blue Badge.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Guidance issued by the
Department is clear that some organisations, such as community transport operators,
are unlikely to be eligible for a Blue Badge. To be eligible they must both care for
and transport disabled people, who themselves meet the eligibility criteria for a
badge. It is for the issuing local authority to decide whether there is a clear need
for an organisational badge rather than using the individual badges of the people
that are being transported.</p><p> </p>
