Frequently Asked Questions

Where are applications accepted and processed?

Applications for the RTC Discount ID Card are accepted at San Francisco Bay Area transit agency locations and forwarded to a central office. The Central Processor then reviews and verifies applicant information and prepares a card that is printed and mailed by the Clipper program.

What if I am 65 or older?

If you are 65 years of age or older, you qualify for a Senior discount, which is the same discount offered by the RTC Discount Card. If you are a Senior and have a qualifying disability, you will not be issued a new or renewal RTC card. The application process for a Senior Clipper card is easier and quicker than for the RTC card, and the Senior card does not need to be renewed.

The RTC Program no longer issues cards to seniors. The Senior Clipper card offers the same features and discounts. You can obtain a Senior Clipper card at your local transit agency. The card is free and does not expire.

Do I need to show identification in addition to my RTC card when I use it?

No. When you receive your RTC Discount ID card, you will be immediately eligible for reduced fares on all participating transit systems. No additional proof of eligibility is required, but you must show the Discount ID Card at the time you pay the fare.

Can I get the card same day?

No. The card can take up to 21 days to be processed and sent out.
