SporTran Reduced Fare Program - Does not apply to most travelers as all fares in our service area are FREE!
The Federal Transit Administration requires agencies receiving federal funding to offer a fixed route Half Fare program to seniors, people with disabilities and individuals with Medicare cards. People with disabilities for this purpose are defined by FTA as:

“those individuals who, by reason of illness, injury, age, congenital malfunction, or other permanent or temporary incapacity or disability, including those who are non-ambulatory wheelchair-bound and those with semi-ambulatory capabilities, are unable without special facilities or special planning or design to utilize mass transportation facilities and services as effectively as persons who are not so affected.”

Having a disability does not necessarily qualify an individual for a reduced fare. Income is not a determining factor. SporTran defines senior citizens as those individuals 65 and over. Exclusions to the Reduced Fare eligibility include: pregnancy, obesity, acute or chronic alcoholism or drug addiction, contagious diseases and temporary disabilities with a duration of less than 90 days. SporTran reduced fare photo IDs (Discount IDs) are valid for 90 days and up to 1 year. A $2.00 processing fee is required. The cost of replacement cards for lost Discount IDs is $5.00. Discount IDs are issued on TouchPass cards and the cost of the TouchPass card is included in the processing fee.
