How to apply for Albany Transit System (Senior & ADA Fares) — Dougherty County
Albany Transit System — City of Albany
Who it's for
The Albany Transit System runs fixed-route buses plus ADA paratransit across Dougherty County (Albany). Seniors 65 and older and people with a qualifying disability ride for a reduced (half) fare with proper ID or a Medicare card; ADA paratransit serves riders whose disability prevents them from using fixed routes and requires an application. Call the City of Albany Transit office for routes, the reduced-fare card, and paratransit eligibility.
Reduced fixed-route fares are available to seniors and people with a qualifying disability; ADA paratransit eligibility is determined by application, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
What you'll need
- Proof of Dougherty County residency
- Proof of age 65+ or a Medicare card / disability ID for the reduced fare
- Completed ADA paratransit application (for door-to-door service)
