Doctor’s statement of disability on physicians letterhead, stating the patient’s name and a brief detail of the disability. If it is permanent or if temporary, how long?
You may qualify if your disability is visible. i.e. - missing limbs, palsies etc., which directly affects mobility.
Verification of your MEDICARE benefits. Not MEDICAID.
You must also bring a “Government Issued - Photo ID” for proof of identification such as a State ID, Driver’s License, Veterans ID or Passport.

NOTE: The Social Security Award letter is not acceptable for verification unless disability is noted or MediCare benefits are listed.

Jurors Ride Free on METRO.

Prospective jurors can use their jury summon to ride METRO into downtown free of charge on the date reflected on the jury summon only. Prospective jurors who are not selected for jury duty may ask the court for a METRO Jury Pass for their trip home. This pass will be date stamped (valid through the same day).

If selected for juror duty, ask the court for a Jury Pass. This pass should be stamped with a “valid through” date. Show this pass to your bus operator. It is valid for both bus and rail.

It is important to be aware that both passes look the same but the date stamped on them is what makes the pass valid.
