Reduced Fare Application Process

Those eligible to apply for a Reduced Fare card include:

• Seniors (65 and over)
• Persons with disabilities
• Medicare card holders
• Veterans
• Active-duty military (including Reserves or National Guard)

TARTA has improved its Reduced Fare application process.

• Obtaining Reduced Fare cards will no longer be a face-to-face process.
• Reduced Fare cards will no longer have photos on them.
• Reduced Fare card applications will no longer need to be signed by a licensed medical professional.
• Reduced Fare cards will be free (There is, however, a $5 charge to replace a lost card).

Applying for a Reduced Fare card can be done in 3 easy steps:

1. Print the Reduced Fare Application Form. Use the links below for English, Spanish, Chinese and Arabic. (Other languages can be made available upon request.)
2. Complete and sign the application, following the directions on page one.
3. Mail or drop off your application, including copies of any necessary documentation. Be sure to indicate how you want to receive your card (via mail or pick up at TARTA’s Central Avenue Garage, 1127 W. Central, Toledo). Applications will take 7 to 10 business days to process. Please add 3 business days if receiving your card by mail.
