Rider Relief Transportation Program (RRTP)
What is the Rider Relief Transportation Program?
The Rider Relief Transportation Program (RRTP) provides fare subsidy coupons to eligible riders who purchase TAP cash value, EZ transit passes and/or daily, weekly, or monthly passes from participating transit systems. Eligible riders include adult regular riders, Senior/Disabled/Medicare, K-12 grade students, and college/vocational students who are pre-qualified by a participating community-based agency.
Subsidy coupon booklets are issued by the participating community-based organizations and are accepted at pass and TAP sales locations during Pass Sales periods.
Culver CityBus and participating transit systems, along with the two lead agencies, FAME Assistance Corporation (FAC) and Human Services Association (HSA), are committed to helping you benefit from this program.
