The Clallam Transit System has announced that staff will be out in the community to make it more convenient for disabled and senior Clallam County residents to get their regional reduced fare permit (RRFP) program ID cards.

CTS staff will be at the Sequim Transit Center from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 13, to issue the program ID cards to eligible residents.

There is a one-time permit cost of $3 for the ID card itself, except for temporary cards.

Interested disabled and senior residents are required to complete an application form and provide required documentation under program guidelines.

Since the system has only one unit to produce the cards, CTS will not be able to issue the cards at its headquarters facility in Port Angeles on Nov. 13. Unless staff are out in the communities, disabled and senior residents can get their cards issued at CTS at 830 W. Lauridsen Boulevard, Port Angeles, weekdays from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

All CTS disabled and senior passengers are required to have this ID card to be eligible to purchase reduced cost monthly bus passes for fixed-route and dial-a-ride service or to pay a reduced cash fare when boarding fixed-route and dial-a-ride buses.

The ID card entitles eligible persons to pay discounted fares on 13 transportation systems throughout the Puget Sound region, including the Washington State ferry system.
