Reduced Fares
Reduced fare programs allow eligible applicants to obtain an appropriate ID card. Cardholders purchase reduced fare stamps each month and affix them to the card, which then functions as their valid pass. Monthly stamps can be purchased with your ID card at any Metro pass sales outlet.
