Community Transit offers a reduced fare for income-elligible residents through the ORCA LIFT Program.
An ORCA card allows riders to pay a reduced bus fare because their household income is less than or equal to 200% of the federal poverty level, established by the US Dept. of Health & Human Services.
ORCA LIFT cards are accepted on Community Transit and Everett Transit.
