Golden Passport and Patriot Passport programs not affected by Miami-Dade Transit fare increases


(Miami-Dade County, FL) -- 
The recently approved transit fare increase has generated some rumors that Miami-Dade Transit is canceling the Golden Passport and Patriot Passport programs.

Miami-Dade Transit wants to inform its passengers that the fare increase did not affect either the Golden Passport or Patriot Passport program. These programs will continue to provide free transit to seniors, Social Security recipients and low-income veterans.

For information on either of these programs, visit www.miamidade.gov/transit or call 305-770-3131.

Note to Media:  Miami-Dade Transit is asking all media outlets to help disseminate this information to the public.
