Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) offers a discounted fare on its local bus routes to riders who meet the U.S. Department of Transportation definition of disability. A clinician meets this two-page application when a patient asks for certification of a physical or mental disability. HART verifies the answers before issuing the discount permit.
The applicant completes Section 1 (contact details, rehabilitation or treatment status, wheelchair lift use, temporary or permanent disability). A State of Florida certified physician or medical professional completes all of Section 2 and gives a license number.

Application for HART Discount Permit (disabled) - Section 2
If your copy of the form is a fillable PDF, upload it once and Vero Documents fills it from the visit note and the chart, ready for you to review and sign. Download, print, or email the finished form, with the patient’s consent.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

Section 2 must be completed by a State of Florida certified physician or medical professional, who prints their name, office or agency and license number. The section must be filled out completely, including the signature, or HART will not issue the permit. Out-of-state licenses are not provided for on the form.
No. HART accepts only the original application, presented in person at a HART Customer Service outlet with photo ID. The provider should return the signed original to the patient rather than faxing it to HART, since faxed and photocopied forms are refused.
HART requires recertification every five years for permanent disabilities. Temporary conditions are recertified sooner, based on the length the provider enters on the form. A lost permit can be replaced for a fee, but a new certification is needed when the permit period ends.
