WMATA's "Metro Lift" is a new income-qualified reduced fare program to create more equitable and affordable access to transit across the region. The program which will begin on June 20, 2023 offers reduced fares to assist low-income customers. Customers in DC, Maryland and Virginia who qualify for the US Department of Agriculture's Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) are eligible to enroll. The program advances transit equity and affordability. Customers enrolled in Metro Lift will receive a 50 percent discount for any travel on Metrorail and Metrobus. Online enrollment and appointment scheduling will begin on Tuesday, June 20th, at WMATA.com/MetroLift. In-person enrollment will begin at three sites starting on Monday, June 26th. Metro adds the Metro Lift program to its other reduced fare program offerings, such as U-Pass and Senior SmarTrip. It is free to enroll in Metro Lift. Customers who qualify for Metro Lift must show that they are current recipients of SNAP benefits in DC, Maryland or Virginia. The fare discount will be valid for one year after enrollment and will be available up to 48 hours after online enrollment, and immediately for those that enroll in person.
