Who We Are

People with disabilities who have a valid Metro Disability Identification Card or Seniors with a Senior SmarTrip card may ride for half the peak fare on Metrobus, Metrorail, and other transit agencies. Metro will issue visitors a one-time courtesy Metro Disability Identification Card good for up to one month. The Metro Disability Identification Card application is available on the website or by email from eligibility@wmata.com.

Customers with Senior SmarTrip or Reduced Fare Photo ID, qualify for reduced fares. Older adults may ride for half the peak fare on Metrorail, for $1 on regular Metrobus routes, and for a discounted fare on other participating bus service providers.

Free orientations on how to use Metrobus and Metrorail services are available to senior citizens and people with disabilities by calling (202) 962-2700 or TTY (202) 962-2033.
