The Rider Relief Transportation Program (RRTP) provides fare subsidy coupons to eligible riders who purchase daily, weekly, or monthly Metro passes, TAP cash value, and EZ transit passes from participating transit systems. Eligible riders include adult regular riders, Senior/Disabled/Medicare, K-12 grade students, and college/vocational students who are pre-qualified by a participating community-based agency.
The new subsidy coupon booklets are issued by the participating community-based organizations and are accepted at pass sales locations during Pass Sales periods. The Metro sales period starts on the 25th of the month through the 10th of the following month.
Metro and participating transit systems, along with the two lead agencies, FAME Assistance Corporation (FAC) and Human Services Association (HSA), are committed to helping you benefit from this program.
