Dear Metrolink Riders:

On April 23, 2010, the SCRRA Board of Directors tentatively approved a host of system-wide fare policy changes as part of the agency’s preliminary 2010-2011 budget. The changes will be presented for final Board approval at their June 25, 2010 meeting. If the Metrolink Board of Directors approves the proposed fare policy changes on June 25, they will go into effect on Thursday, July 1, 2010. Below is a summary of the changes describing the new policies and proper identification required for discounted tickets and special ticket options:

• A 6% system-wide average fare increase will go into effect for all ticket types.
• One-way, round-trip and 10-trip tickets will no longer have an 80-mile cap on long distance fares. However, the 80-mile cap will remain in effect for monthly passes.
• Round-trip tickets will equal the price of two one-way tickets.
• All 10-trip tickets purchased on or after July 1, 2010 will be valid for 45 days, replacing the current 90 day validity period. The adult 10-trip ticket discount will equal 5% below the cost of 10 one-way equivalents.
• Youth, Friends and Family 4-Pack, Active Military and Senior/Disabled will be the only discounted tickets on the weekend. One-way and round-trip youth weekend tickets will be available at a discount of 25%. Friends and Family 4-Pack remains unchanged at $29.
• One-way and round-trip tickets will be discounted 10% for active military who have a valid Common Access Card (CAC) identification.
• New 10% discounted student monthly passes and 10-trip tickets will be available for purchase through the ticket vending machines at all Metrolink stations. While riding the train, students must show their current, valid student identification along with a valid pass or ticket upon request of fare enforcement personnel.
• Senior/Disabled monthly passes and 10-trip tickets are now available at a 25% discount. Senior/Disabled one-way and round-trip tickets will remain unchanged at 50% off. Proper identification will continue to be required.
