Changes For Senior RTA Riders

The current RTA senior ride free holders will be issued either a new senior circuit ride free or a reduced fare permit beginning August 1, 2011.

Effective June 1, 2011, the RTA will begin means testing all senior applications for the ride free program. Those not enrolled in the State of Illinois Department on Aging Circuit Breaker program will be issued a reduced fare permit.

Senior Center employees are requested to advise any customers making application at the Center that they may receive a reduced fare permit if not currently a circuit breaker enrollee.

On July 1, 2011, the RTA will no longer issue replacement permits for any lost, stolen, or damaged permits. Customers should be directed to contact RTA customer service department at (312) 913-3110 for assistance.
