![RTC Discount (ID) Card 2
The purpose of the RTC Discount ID Card Program is to
ensure that only eligible individuals receive fare discounts
as mandated by state and federal laws. An individual’s
eligibility is based on their inability to use fixed-route transit
(i.e., regular accessible buses, light rail, commuter rail or
BART) without special facilities, planning or design.
