For Some Seniors, Free Rides to Expire
Know a senior citizen who relies on free public transportation to get around?
That's about to change.
Beginning Sept. 1, the Regional Transit Authority's "Seniors Ride Free" program will expire for all senior citizens except those defined as "low-income" using standards adopted from Illinois Department on Aging "Circuit Breaker" program . All other seniors will pay a discounted, half-price, fare.

The RTA reportedly sent letters to those enrolled in Circuit Breaker — but not the Seniors Ride Free program — notifying them that they're eligible. Those letters contain instructions on applying for free fare permits. Seniors can still apply to enroll in the Circuit Breaker program. Inclusion is based on the following income guidelines — $27,610 for a one-person household, $36,635 for two-person household and $45,657 for three-person household There are a number of ways to apply for enrollment: By calling the Illinois Department on Aging at (800) 624-2459 or visiting www.cbrx.il.gov or contacting AgeOptions, an Oak Park-based resource agency at (708) 383-0258.
