Senior & Disabled Stickers


The discount monthly pass for senior and disabled passengers is a small sticker that is placed directly on the face of a Regional Transit Connection (RTC) Discount Photo ID Card. The monthly pass sticker is valid only when affixed to the RTC Card.

If passengers do not have the RTC Card with a valid monthly pass sticker when boarding, they may pay discount fares in cash or tickets, by showing one of the other forms of identification listed above under "Proof of Eligibility."

Passengers of any age with qualifying disabilities, as well as Seniors (65 and older), may apply for a RTC Photo ID Card. For more information, call AC Transit at(510) 817-1717 or 511.

Pass stickers are available at most retailers selling AC Transit's tickets. Click here to go to our Vendor Search.
