Honored Citizen Tickets and Passes
For seniors, Medicare members and people with disabilities
"Honored Citizen" is how TriMet identifies seniors age 65 or older, people on Medicare and people with mental or physical disabilities. Honored Citizens receive discounts on fares and priority seating on buses and trains.
Honored Citizen benefits
- Discounted fares: You pay less than half the price of a regular Adult All-Zone fare. Just select "Honored Citizen" when purchasing your fare.
- Priority seating: The seats nearest the door are reserved for you.
- Personal attendant rides free: A personal attendant may accompany you (if you qualify).
Seniors 65 and older

If you are age 65 or older, you may purchase and use Honored Citizen fares. However, proof of age is required when boarding. On the bus, just show your valid photo ID to the operator as you pay your fare, or if requested by a fare inspector. On MAX, WES and Portland Streetcar, be prepared to show your ID and proof of fare when requested by a fare inspector.
Medicare members
If you are a Medicare member with a valid Medicare card, you may purchase and use Honored Citizen fares. Proof of eligibility is required when boarding. On the bus, just show your Medicare card to the operator as you pay your fare, or if requested by a fare inspector. On MAX, WES and Portland Streetcar, be prepared to show your card and proof of fare when requested by a fare inspector.
People with disabilities
If you have a mental or physical disability, you must be issued a TriMet Honored Citizen Card before using Honored Citizen fares. On the bus, show your card to the operator as you pay your fare, or if requested by a fare inspector. On MAX, WES and Portland Streetcar, be prepared to show your card and proof of fare when requested by a fare inspector.
Honored Citizen tickets and transfers are accepted on TriMet's LIFT Paratransit service with an additional cash payment. Honored Citizen Monthly Passes are not accepted on LIFT.
Downtown-only bus pass
For Honored Citizen riders living in downtown Portland, a downtown-only bus pass is available for only $10.
