Reduced Fare for Riders with Disabilities
If you are a person with a disability, you are eligible for a Reduced Fare card, which entitles half-fare payments. A Reduced Fare card can be loaded with stored cash value, a 7-Day Pass or 31-Day Pass at any machine, retail location, or the Downtown Service Center. If you are paying cash half-fare, you must tap your Reduced Fare card first to verify your eligibility. You must complete an application process in order to receive a Reduced Fare card.
