Senior citizens aged 65 or over living in the RTA service region (Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will counties) are eligible for free transit on fixed routes operated by the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), Metra and Pace.

To take advantage of the free transit, seniors must have the senior reduced fare card to get a free ride.

If you already have a senior reduced fare card, you are already registered. Your reduced fare card will allow you to take transit for free.
