Metrolink Cuts Fares 50% for EBT Cardholders

California EBT cardholders can now ride Metrolink trains at half price through the new Mobility-4-All program, transit officials said. The discount applies to all train tickets and passes across Metrolink's Southern California network. Officials didn't specify when the program launched or how many riders might qualify for the reduced fares.

Program Aims to Expand Transit Access

The fare reduction is part of Metrolink's broader effort to make public transportation more accessible for low-income residents throughout Southern California, according to the transit agency. Officials said the program demonstrates the agency's commitment to serving diverse communities across the region. Transit agencies nationwide have increasingly adopted income-based fare programs to reduce transportation costs for families receiving public assistance. Specific enrollment numbers or budget allocations for the Mobility-4-All program weren't available by publication time.

Discount Covers Multiple Fare Products

The 50% discount applies to various Metrolink fare products including single ride tickets and multi-day passes, officials said. Eligible customers can use the program across all Metrolink train lines and stations throughout the system. Officials didn't provide details about how riders verify their EBT eligibility when purchasing tickets or whether the discount applies to mobile ticketing options. The agency said the program is designed to help reduce transportation costs for individuals and families receiving public assistance.

Enrollment Details Available Through Agency

Officials said enrollment information can be found through Metrolink's channels, though specific details about the registration process weren't immediately available. The agency didn't specify whether riders need to pre-register for the program or can apply the discount at the time of ticket purchase. Transit officials said they're working to ensure the enrollment process is accessible for eligible riders.

Riders Can Access Program Information

California EBT cardholders who use Metrolink for work, medical appointments, or other travel needs can benefit from the half-price fares.
