The Clipper START pilot program provides fare discounts for adult single rides on multiple transit systems around the Bay Area. The program is administered by MTC in partnership with Bay Area transit agencies. Transportation is typically one of a household’s largest expenses, so Clipper START makes public transit more affordable for more people.

• Be a resident of the San Francisco Bay Area 

• Be 19-64 years old 

• Not have an RTC Clipper Card for people with disabilities 

• Have a household income of 200% of the federal poverty level or less
