Metrolink Launches Discount Program for Low-Income Train Riders - Grant Funds Provide 50% Discount for EBT Card Holders
Beginning September 2022, Metrolink passengers with a California Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card are eligible for a 50 percent discount on all Metrolink tickets and passes. Riders can use their EBT card at any Metrolink station ticket machine to validate and unlock the discount.
Funding for the discount is made possible by a grant from the Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP), administered by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
"We are grateful to Caltrans for providing the funding to make this program happen," said Metrolink Board Chair Ara Najarian. "This fare discount advances Metrolink's commitment to public transportation equity and accessibility across the six counties we serve."
"It's exciting to introduce new riders to Metrolink trains," said Metrolink CEO Darren Kettle. "More people in Southern California will now be able to make vital connections to work, school, family, housing and more
A California EBT card is required to validate the discount, while an alternative form of payment is needed to complete the ticket purchase. The discount program will be available for one year or until the grant funds are depleted.

Metro Bike Share
Metro plans to expand its bike share system and they are looking for your input about where new bike share stations are needed.
What is Bike Share?
Bike Share allows users to pick up a bicycle at a self-serve bike station and drop it off at another bike station for the same price as a bus ride. It's ideal for short distances or to complete a trip after taking transit.
What are the Benefits of Bike Share?
Having a bike share system can expand your community's transportation options. Bike share also provides a convenient way for visitors in your city to travel car-free. Bicycling can lead to improved community health through increased physical activity.
How Does Bike Share Work?
Metro has developed a website on Bike Share available here: https://bikeshare.metro.net/
In short, users buy a pass, get a bike, take a ride, and then return the bike at whichever station they would like.
