Regional Reduced Fare Permit
Senior citizens and persons with disabilities may ride the bus or train at a reduced rate with a valid Regional Reduced Fare Permit (RRFP) when paying a reduced fare. On the bus, the driver will ask to see the permit when paying the fare. On the train, the conductor will ask you to show the permit when inspecting passes and tickets.
A RRFP used alone, or an RRFP with a King County Metro senior/disabled sticker, is not valid for fare payment on any Sound Transit service.
One personal care attendant (PCA) may ride for free but must board and leave with the reduced fare passenger. In addition, the reduced fare passenger must possess a RRFP with ‘'PCA'’ indicated.
