How to apply for Yuma County Area Transit (YCAT) — Senior & Disability Reduced Fare
Yuma County Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority (YCIPTA), operating Yuma County Area Transit (YCAT)
Who it's for
Yuma County Area Transit (YCAT) runs fixed-route buses across the Yuma area. Riders age 65 and older, people with a qualifying disability, and Medicare card holders qualify for a reduced fare with a YCAT Discount ID Card (or by showing a state ID, passport, or another agency's senior card for proof of age). For riders who cannot use the fixed-route bus because of a disability, YCAT OnCall provides door-to-door demand-response service near YCAT routes. Ask at the YCAT Bus Facility for a Discount ID Card application.
The reduced fare and YCAT OnCall demand-response service are for riders 65 and older, Medicare holders, and people with a qualifying disability. A YCAT Discount ID Card (about $3, valid up to three years) or proof of age is required at the time of payment.
People who qualify for one senior program often qualify for others. See everything you may qualify for — free, no SSN, about five minutes.
