Regional Reduced Fare Permit
Senior citizens (age 65 and older) and persons with disabilities may ride the King County Water Taxi at a reduced rate with a valid Regional Reduced Fare Permit (RRFP). An RRFP used alone is not valid for fare payment.
One personal care attendant may ride for free but must board and leave with the reduced-fare passenger. In addition, the reduced-fare passenger must possess an RRFP with “PCA” indicated.
