How to apply for Glenn Ride Senior Reduced Fare in California

Who it's for

Glenn Ride is Glenn County's public bus service (Willows-Orland-Chico corridor with stops in Artois and Hamilton City). Glenn County issues a Transit Service Card to residents 60 and older (also to people with a permanent disability or low income); the operator's former website said seniors and veterans ride free by showing the driver a transit card or military ID. The county's published Glenn Ride schedule lists only the standard fares ($2.00 in-county, $3.00 to Chico, $50 monthly pass), so confirm the current senior fare by phone before relying on it. Transit Service Card applications are available from the Paratransit Services Office at (530) 934-6700 and from Glenn County Planning and Community Development Services at (530) 934-6540, or by mail.

What you'll need

• Proof of age 60+ (CA driver's license, state ID, Medicare card, or passport showing date of birth) for the Transit Service Card
