RTA Ride Free and Reduced Fare Programs
The Senior Ride Free Smart Card allows senior citizens to ride all RTA services for free and the Reduced Fare Card allows qualified persons with disabilities to ride all RTA services for a reduced fare. Both programs are offered by the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA). These services include CTA buses and rapid transit, Pace buses, and Metra trains in the six-county region served by the RTA (Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane, McHenry and Will counties). The permits take approximate 3 to 4 weeks to process after an application is made. They are valid for four years from the date of issuance. Read more »
