The proposal simplifies the qualification.Īgency staff say the changes will work to simplify the qualification process and allow more low-income people to access its Marin Access ride services such as the Dial-A-Ride curbside pickup, paratransit and the Catch-A-Ride discounted taxi service. The proposal also overhauls the current qualification criteria for Marin Transit’s other low-income fare assistance benefits, which currently vary widely. Under the proposal, disabled riders or seniors who are 65 years old or more and are either enrolled in Medi-Cal or who have an income that falls at or below the California’s Elder Economic Index can qualify for free rides.

Marin Transit is proposing that senior and disabled low-income people ride buses for free as part of a larger fare overhaul.
