(LIFE) Low-Income Fare is Easy
The Low Income Fare is Easy Program was designed to assist Los Angeles County Low-Income riders with the cost of public transportation. At initial sign-up qualifying riders can receive a free 90-day pass and 20 free regional rides each month on Metro or a discounted pass on any of the 13 LIFE participating transit agencies. Using our agency partner network of over 200 community based organizations, we reach over 100,000 individuals annually.
The LIFE program also offers LIFE Limited rides to residents who do not have access to transportation to meet their basic medical, shelter/housing and job search needs. Individuals may qualify for LIFE Limited subsidies including 4-regional ride trip tickets, $11 Taxi Coupons, and Taxi Variable Vouchers up to $100 in value for eligible rides. Enrollment in LIFE Limited will be at the discretion of the agency based on urgency, eligibility and availability. Your agency can partner with FAME and become a participating community based agency delivering transportation resources to your clients.
