The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) and the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) are accepting applicants through Nov. 30 for an 18-month joint pilot project to allow seniors and persons with disabilities unlimited access to BART in San Francisco and all Muni transit services with the purchase of a single pass.

Participants will be selected through a random lottery before the first phase of the pilot begins in February 2010. Every six months during the pilot, 2,000 participants will be randomly selected to receive the Senior/Disabled Pilot Pass.

The current Muni Adult Fast Pass® allows unlimited BART access within the city of San Francisco and all regular transit services offered by Muni.

The Senior/Disabled Pass Pilot will assess the functionality, popularity, and potential costs of implementing a similar program for seniors and persons with disabilities. If deemed successful, the pass could be added to TransLink®, the regional transit smart card.
