I have a disability. Do I get a discount for rides?
It depends. While not required by law, most public transit agencies offer discounts for demand response rides (seniors/individuals with disabilities). Visit our County Directory for the standard and reduced fare (if applicable) rates for your local transit agencies’ services.
Under the Federal Transit Act, federally subsidized transit providers may not charge more than half of the peak fare for fixed route transit during off-peak hours (seniors/individuals with disabilities/Medicare cardholders).
This is not an ADA requirement, nor does it apply to demand response or complementary paratransit rides.
