Before applying for a Season Ticket Advance, please ensure you are familiar with the Advances of Salary section of the Civilian Pay and Allowances Policy (MODNet Only).
Season Ticket Advance
You can apply for a season ticket advance to assist with travel costs such as rail or bus fares, car parking, toll bridge or tunnel costs or with the purchase of a bicycle for travel between home and place of work.
Who is it for?
All permanent civil servants who have completed at least two months’ service. Fixed term appointees may also apply, provided that their line manager endorses the application.
What do I get?
A salary advance to pay for a rail/bus season ticket, bridge/tunnel tolls, or car parking. You may apply for up to 4 advances (for quarterly season tickets) or 1 advance (for an annual ticket) in one year. The advance must be repaid within twelve months of being paid, and you must have repaid any existing advances before another advance of the same type can be paid.
