New changes to Calgary's 'Low-Income Transit Pass Program'

To our community partners:

  Fair Fares and Fair Calgary Community Voices would like to inform you of the recent improvements to the Low-Income Transit Pass program.

   
These improvements include:  

-  More ways to prove income
-  Youth from 6 - 17 are now included in the Low Income Transit pass -  The income cut-off has been raised from 75% to 87.5% of LICO for 2013 with the cut-off being increased  to 100% of LICO starting April 2014.

These changes make the Low Income Transit pass available to more people and make the application process much easier.  

We would like to thank the many people living on low income, community members and the community organizations for their hard work in making these changes happen community and City Council and Calgary Transit for listening to the community's input and implementing the much needed changes to the Low Income Transit pass.
