King County and Sound Transit offer new subsidized annual pass for riders in greatest need

Augmenting ORCA LIFT and other discounted public transportation passes for riders in need, King County and Sound Transit are now offering a new annual pass at no cost for customers who have no income or very low income.

The effort is focused on serving people enrolled in certain state benefit programs, which makes it easier for eligible customers to apply and streamlines income eligibility review.

"Building off the strong track record of ORCA LIFT and other discounted fare programs, we are proud to announce a new subsidized annual pass to ensure that people with very low or no income are able to ride transit," said King County Executive Dow Constantine.

"Our goal is to connect people to the opportunities that enrich their lives, and support their health and well-being. We expect to learn a lot as we implement this program, and we will be sharing our experiences with other communities committed to tackling inequities."
