RTC Discount (ID) CardRTC Discount (ID) Card 2

The purpose of the RTC Discount ID Card Program is to ensure that only eligible individuals receive fare discounts as mandated by state and federal laws. An individual’s eligibility is based on their inability to use fixed-route transit (i.e., regular accessible buses, light rail, commuter rail or BART) without special facilities, planning or design.
