Reduced Fares are available to senior citizens or persons with disabilities who present a Golden Buckeye Card, Medicare Card or Laketran issued ADA or Student Reduced Fare ID at the time of boarding Fixed Routes 1-6 or Dial-a-Ride buses. This I.D. must be shown each time you board the bus to be eligible for the discounted fares.
Students with disabilities, who are not yet eligible for a Golden Buckeye Card, may apply for a Student Reduced Fare I.D. Card by completing the Reduced Fare Application. This application requires a meeting with Laketran staff to determine eligibility and must be renewed on an annual basis. With an approved application, the student will be issued a Reduced Fare I.D. that will allow him/her to travel on Fixed Routes 1-6 or Dial-a-Ride services at the same rate as seniors/individuals with disabilities. For more information on this service, please contact Laketran’s Outreach Department at 440-350-1012 or outreach@laketran.com.
If you are a Medicaid recipient, the cost of your transportation to some Medicaid-approved health care services may be covered by Medicaid. In these instances, the rider does not pay a fare. Medicaid will be billed under the appropriate program through Lake County Jobs and Family Services. Learn more about the Medicaid Non-emergency Transportation (NET) service.
