DART to inaugurate half-fare program on an experimental basis beginning next month.
The Des Moines Area Regional Transit Authority (DART) is piloting an expansion of its Half Fare Program for 6 months, beginning Jan. 1, 2021. Eligible individuals can apply for a temporary Half Fare ID card, allowing them to purchase individual bus fares, bus tokens, and day, weekly and monthly bus passes for half the price.
“By expanding the reach of our Half-Fare Program, we hope to remove transportation barriers for even more central Iowans, giving them access to work, shopping, medical appointments, school and more. In times of economic uncertainty, access to our region remains critical. We hope by expanding the reach of this program, we are able to also expand the number of central Iowans we serve, helping us fulfill our mission to Enrich Lives, Connect Communities and Expand Opportunities,” states DART CEO Elizabeth Presutti.
