Disabled Reduced Fare Program

People with disabilities who are unable to utilize MTA services as effectively as persons who are not so affected  may be eligible to ride for approximately one-third the regular fare on Local Bus, Light Rail and Metro Subway, approximately one-half the regular fare on MARC Train, and with varying discounts on Commuter Buses.

To ride MTA services with the Disability discount, the following is required:

• a valid MTA Reduced Fare Disability photo ID card, OR
• a valid disability ID from another transit agency and any valid government issued photo ID, OR
• for individuals UNDER age 65, a Medicare card and any valid government issued photo ID
