The Generalitat will provide two free transport cards for each damaged vehicle.
To do so, it will be necessary to submit the following documentation: census or certificate of residence prior to October 29, 2024, certificate of deregistration of the damaged vehicle, copy of the DNI of the vehicle owner and of another person designated to receive the card.
Once the application has been validated, the Generalitat will send the card to the beneficiary’s address.
Both cards will be operational as of February 24, providing free transportation until the end of 2025.
