How to apply for Senior & Disabled Transit (Kitsap Transit) — Kitsap in Washington

Who it's for

Kitsap Transit serves Kitsap County with routed buses and local foot ferries. A one-way ride costs $2.00 at full fare and $1.00 at the reduced fare for seniors 65 and older, riders with disabilities, and Medicare card holders. The reduced fare uses a Regional Reduced Fare Permit (RRFP) on an ORCA card, which is honored on transit systems across the Puget Sound region. The first RRFP card is free and a replacement costs $3; get one at the Kitsap Transit Customer Service office. Kitsap Transit also runs on-demand and dial-a-ride services and ACCESS paratransit for riders who cannot use the regular bus. Call 1-360-373-2877 for schedules and fare questions.

What you'll need

• Seniors 65+: valid photo ID and a completed Regional Reduced Fare Permit application
• Riders with disabilities: a completed RRFP application and one accepted proof of disability (for example, SSDI or SSI disability award, VA rating of 40% or more, or an ADA paratransit card)
• Or: a valid Medicare card
