Cleveland Senior Citizens and Individuals with Disabilities Hit the Open Road

The minds of individuals with disabilities and senior citizens can be at ease once they know that their transportation needs are taken care by the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority. Qualified individuals will be able to receive discounted fares or bus passes once they register for the service. All bus routes run regularly and are wheelchair accessible. Seniors must be 65 or older to ride at a discounted rate. All seniors or individuals with disabilities must provide valid RTA senior or disabled ID or a Medicaid card and driver's license or other official ID. If an individual decides to purchase a monthly bus pass, it will only cost him or her $38.00. Although $38.00 may seem expensive, that price is offered to qualified riders at almost a 70 percent discount when compared to other passes offered by Cleveland's RTA. This monthly pass includes unlimited rides too! If passes are bought on a daily basis, it will only cost the rider $1.00. All day passes are available for purchase on all RTA vehicles at fare boxes and retail agents. There are several ways to plan a trip with Cleveland's RTA. A copy of a systems map to locate a route number closest to starting and ending points is offered online. Timetables or schedule specifics can also be viewed to find what time a bus will reach a pick-up point. For more information about how to plan your trip with RTA, call the RTAnswerline at 216-621-9500 Monday through Friday between the hours of 6:30 AM and 6:30 PM. The line is also open on Saturday's 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM where a RTA representative can answer any questions you might have. To apply for your discount card, call 216-566-5285.
