The RFA boundary is shown on the downtown Seattle map in the center<br />

Regional Reduced Fare Permit<br />
Senior citizens and persons with disabilities may ride the bus or train at<br />
a reduced rate with a valid Regional Reduced Fare Permit (RRFP). On the<br />
bus, the permit is required when paying the reduced fare. On the train,<br />
the conductor will ask you to show the permit when inspecting passes<br />
and tickets. A RRFP used alone is not valid for fare payment on any<br />
<strong>Sound</strong> <strong>Transit</strong> service.<br />
One personal care attendant (PCA) may ride for free but must board and<br />
leave with the reduced fare passenger. In addition, the reduced fare<br />
passenger must possess a RRFP with “PCA” indicated.<br />
