You must present proof that you meet one of the following criteria:

• you are 65 years of age or older; OR
• you are currently certified by the Veterans Administration at a 40 percent or greater disability level; OR
• you have a valid Regional ADA paratransit card; OR
• you have an obvious physical impairment(s) meeting the medical criteria for the program; OR
• you are certified by a physician, psychiatrist, psychologist (PhD), audiologist, nurse practitioner (ARNP) or physician assistant (PA) as meeting one or more of the medical criteria established for this program. Call Metro at 206-553-3060, 206-684-2029 for TTY users, to get a certification form and have your doctor fill it out before you go to Metro to register.

People younger than 65, must go to a Metro Customer Office to have their picture taken and to purchase the RRFP. People 65 and over can register by mail as a picture is not required.

The Regional Reduced Fare Permit (RRFP), sometimes called a senior or disabled bus pass, costs $3.00. An RRFP enables seniors and people with disabilities to ride Metro buses at a significant discount. A Personal Care Attendant RRFP is available for persons who need assistance to ride the bus. Service animals (such as a seeing-eye dog) ride free.

Once you have an RRFP, you can buy a METRO-ONLY monthly reduced fare sticker for $5.50 or an annual reduced fare sticker for $66. This sticker will pay your Metro reduced bus fare or is good for 25 cents toward your Access Transportation fare.

An RRFP also entitles eligible users to reduced fares on

• Community Transit [external link] and Everett Transit [external link] (Snohomish County)
• Pierce Transit [external link]
• Sound Transit
• Washington State Ferries [external link]
• Kitsap Transit [external link]
• Intercity Transit [external link] (Olympia), and
• Jefferson Transit [external link] (Olympic Peninsula).

If you ride any of these buses very often, you may want to buy a PugetPass instead of a Metro-only reduced fare sticker. There are several values of PugetPass, so you want to buy the one that is right for your travel needs.

Access vans, park and ride lots; Metro, Pierce, Community and Sound Transit buses; Sounder commuter rail; Ferries; Airport and Amtrak train.
