How to apply for Senior & Disabled Transit (Yakima Transit) — Yakima
Yakima Transit
Who it's for
Yakima Transit serves Yakima County with City fixed-route bus system plus Dial-A-Ride paratransit. Regular adult fare $1.00; reduced fare $0.50 for persons 62 and over or disabled. Union Gap Transit (https://uniongapwa.gov/transit/, 509.574.8000) is fare-free — 'free passenger fares for both fixed route and Para-transit services.' People For People operates rural Yakima County community routes and Medicaid non-emergency medical transportation, but pfp.org was returning HTTP 500 on all inner pages at research time (2026-08-24), so no PFP URL is cited.. 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 1-509-575-6175 for schedules, eligibility, or to book a ride.
Service areas, reduced-fare eligibility, and ride availability are set by the transit provider, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
What you'll need
- Proof of Yakima County residency
- Proof of age 62+ or disability for reduced fare
