If you are an Illinois resident, and currently enrolled in the Illinois Department on Aging’s Benefit Access Program (Formerly Circuit Breaker Program) as a person with a disability, or senior citizen (aged 65 or older) , you are eligible for free public transit on fixed routes.
Every other year, submit a completed Benefit Access Application. Check the box for yourself (and for your spouse) in the application to indicate that you/ or you and your spouse want to apply for the transit benefit.
You must meet all of the requirements of the Illinois Benefit Access program. See Do I qualify? for details.
Once you have filed for your benefits and are approved, you will be able to print a letter of eligibility from the Benefit Access program to show your local fixed-route transit system. It is your responsibility to contact the transit system you wish to ride. Please note that your local fixed-route transit system may still require a local transit ID.
To be determined eligible for these benefits, you must submit a Benefit Access Application on the Internet. Paper applications are not available.
For more information, call 1-800-252-8966 or 1-888-206-1327
