People with Disabilities Ride Free
The State of Illinois is pleased to offer People with Disabilities Free Rides.
This program offers people with disabilities who meet certain income limits, and are enrolled in the Illinois Circuit Breaker program, free rides statewide on all fixed-route public transit systems.
The Illinois Circuit Breaker program income limits are as follows: $27,610 for a household of 1, $36,635 for a household of 2, $45,657 for a household of 3. To apply for Illinois Circuit Breaker, go online to www.cbrx.il.gov or call 1-800-624-2459.
Once enrolled in Circuit Breaker, contact your local transit system (or any fixed-route system statewide on which you wish to ride).
PLEASE NOTE: The State of Illinois issues Circuit Breaker Program postcards to all currently enrolled persons with disabilities in the circuit breaker program. Circuit Breaker enrollment makes a rider eligible for free rides, and the postcard serves as proof of eligibility for the free ride benefit. However, local fixed-route transit systems may still require a local transit id. See further information below.
We hope you enjoy this new benefit. You deserve it and happy travels to you!
