TriMet launched a beta test Friday to expand their Honored Citizen Fare program by including low-income riders to the program.
John Gardner, Director of TriMet's Diversity and Transit Equity Department, says those earning up to 200-percent of the federal poverty level are eligible to qualify.
The Honored Citizen Fare program pay half the cost of a single ride and day pass or receive a 72% discount off of monthly passes.
Gardner says they're inviting people who qualify to go to their website at trimet.org/lowincome/beta and apply for early access to be part of the beta test program.
The program fully launches on July 2, 2018.
