Medicare recipients, senior citizens (age 60 and over) and disabled persons may qualify for WSTA’s Half Fare Program. To qualify individuals must either have a valid Medicare card to show the WSTA operator each time he/she rides, a Senior Citizen’s ID Card, an ID card from another transit system showing you are eligible for half fare (this is only good for 30 days) or apply for a reduced fare card by printing and completing the Half Fare Bus Services Application. If you do not have a Medicare card and are qualifying by disability, complete Part A of the application. After you have completed Part A, take the application to a medical professional for completion. A medical professional familiar with you must complete the application. Please sign the application and return it in its entirety to the WSTA Mobility Management Department at the Clark Campbell Transportation Center at 100 West Fifth Street or it may be faxed to 336.748.3161. Once your application has been approved, you will receive a reduced fare temporary ID card which is good for 30 days. Before your temporary ID card expires, please contact WSTA’s ADA Compliance office at 336-727-2000 to schedule an appointment to have your permanent picture ID taken.
