Metrolink Relaunches Low-Income Discount as ‘Mobility-4-All’

Southern California’s Metrolink relaunched its low-income discount program as the Mobility-4-All program.

Metrolink passengers with a California Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card are still eligible for a 50% discount on all Metrolink tickets and passes. Riders can use their EBT card at any Metrolink station ticket machine to validate and unlock the discount.

“Since we began the program in September 2022, we have sold more than 80,000 tickets with the discounted fare,” Metrolink CEO Darren Kettle said. “Thanks to a generous Caltrans grant, we have made Metrolink an even more affordable option for people. Renaming the program to Mobility-4-All reaffirms our commitment to make public transportation more equitable, without reference to socioeconomic status.”

Making the Program Possible

Funding for the discount is made possible by a grant from the Low Carbon Transit Operations Program, administered by the California Department of Transportation.

A California EBT card is required to validate the discount, while an alternative form of payment is needed to complete the ticket transaction.
