Low Income Fare Victory!!!

We did it!  After nearly a year and a half of campaigning for a low income reduced fare, we know it’s going to happen.  On Monday the County Council voted unanimously to create a low income fare program with a reduced fare of $1.50, to go into effect in March 2015.  And, due to pressure from the Transit Riders Union and our allies, the council added an amendment stating that if the April ballot measure passes, the new low income fare and the youth fare will be set at$1.25 instead of $1.50 for two years.
