"These cards are incredibly valuable to our seniors in regional, remote and rural areas because it helps them offset some of their travel costs for getting to the shops, to medical appointments, and staying connected locally and with friends and family living in other parts of the state," Mr Toole said.
With the current fuel prices so high, petrol continues to be the most popular option for those using the cards.
Applications are open until 30 November 2022 and more information can be found at the Service NSW website.
