Over the past decade, public transit agencies across the United States and Canada have increasingly adopted low-income fare discount programs to improve transit affordability and accessibility. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this trend, prompting agencies to reevaluate services and expand affordable transit choices. These programs offer various benefits such as fare discounts, free rides, or discounted passes.
TCRP Synthesis 182: Providing Low-Income Fare Discounts at Public Transit Agencies, from TRB's Transit Cooperative Research Program, documents the current state of the practice of low-income fare discount programs offered by North American transit agencies.
