But there is ZERO information on the Trimet.org site exactly where a rider needs to go to qualify for a low income fare!
They brag that there are "40" places that have low income fares but not even one of those places is listed.
As they say on Twitter:
#Trimess #FAIL!
Low-Income Fare Programs
We recognize access to public transit is
access to opportunity, so we've established Access Transit fare
programs. The programs help low-income individuals access transit and
offset the 2012 fare increase, which was the largest in our agency's
history.
We set aside a total of $1.3 million for these programs
to mitigate the fare increase on low-income riders. Through these
programs, we provide fares to non-profits and community-based
organizations at a lower cost or at no cost, which they then distribute
to their low-income clients.
