County Continues The Transit Pass Subsidy Program

Eligible unincorporated County residents will continue to receive reduced monthly transit pass fees, after the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved funding today for the Transit Pass Subsidy Program.

The Transit Pass Subsidy Program provides subsidized monthly transit fares to eligible seniors, persons with disabilities, and students residing in all unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. The program, which began in 1985, seeks to encourage the use of public transit by providing residents with financial assistance to meet their transit needs. The program is administered by METRO at an estimated cost of $1,500,000. Funding for the Transit Pass Subsidy Program is available through the County’s Proposition A Local Return Transit Program.
