How to apply for Senior & Disabled Transit (Community Transit) — Snohomish

Who it's for

Community Transit serves Snohomish County with Community Transit serves Snohomish County (local, Swift BRT, DART paratransit, Zip shuttle); Everett Transit serves the city of Everett with the same regional ORCA reduced-fare structure. Riders 65+ pay the reduced fare of $1.00 per ride ($36 monthly pass) via a regional reduced-fare ORCA card; ORCA LIFT (income up to 200% of the federal poverty level) and a free Subsidized Annual Pass are also offered. CAVEAT: the cited page shows the 65+ reduced fare category and amounts but does not use the phrase 'Regional Reduced Fare Permit' verbatim (King County Metro's RRFP page documents the regional permit itself).. Older adults and people with disabilities can use reduced fares or demand-response rides for medical appointments, shopping, and other essential trips. Rides are free or low-cost depending on the service. Call 1-800-562-1375 for schedules, eligibility, or to book a ride.

What you'll need

• Proof of Snohomish County residency
• Proof of age 65+ or disability for reduced fare
