<br />CAPITAL AREA RURAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM <br /> <br />Fare Schedule and Policy <br /> <br />The intent of this policy is to establish a uniform fare schedule <br />for all transportation services provided either directly or under <br />sub-contract by the Capital Area Rural Transportation System <br />(CARTS). The following local transportation operators are <br />sub-contractors of CARTS and accordingly will fall under this <br />policy: <br /> <br />SUB-CONTRACTOR/OPERATOR <br /> <br />SERVICE AREA <br /> <br />Combined Community Action, Inc. <br />dba Community Transit <br /> <br />Bastrop, Fayette & Lee Coso <br /> <br />Community Action Agency, Inc.

Others <br />will receive a 90 day half-fare 1.0. Card. The basis for exemption <br />will be the federal poverty guidelines as determined annually by <br />the Office of Management and Budget of the U.S. Government. <br />Further, it is the intent of this policy that senior citizens and <br />children under twelve (12) will pay only one-half (1/2) of the <br />normal fare for all services provided. Fares will not be <br />applicable for persons transported under a purchase of service <br />contract for an organization or agency except as provided for in <br />the contract for services. <br />
