About this resource

The Regional Reduced Fare Permit (RRFP) is available for individuals aged 65 and above, as well as riders aged 6 to 64 who have disabilities or hold Medicare cards, allowing them to access reduced fares on public transit in the Puget Sound area.

To apply, call for a certification form or download the RRFP Application Form, which must be completed by a medical professional prior to registration. For those aged 6 to 64 applying based on disability, a photo must be taken in person at the King Street Center office or submitted online at https://reducedfare.kingcounty.gov/en-US/. Seniors only need to provide proof of age, which can be submitted via mail or in person at the customer service office or King Street Center. Accessible information is available upon request, and online resources are translated into several languages including Amharic, Chinese, Korean, Punjabi, Russian, Somali, Spanish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.

Fees: The initial RRFP is provided at no cost, while replacements incur a fee of $3. Metro bus rides cost $1 at all times, and a monthly reduced fare pass on an ORCA RRFP card is priced at $36. Fares may differ for other transit services.

Who can use this

  • Eligibility includes individuals aged 65 and older or those aged 6-64 who meet specific criteria, such as being eligible for Social Security disability benefits, receiving Supplemental Security Income, certified by the Veterans Administration with a disability rating of 40% or higher, possessing a valid Medicare card, or having a valid Regional ADA Paratransit card, among others. There are no income restrictions, and participants may enroll in both Metro's RRFP and ACCESS programs.
