What you could receive
Unlimited free rides for 90 days after approval, then 20 free regional rides each month
LIFE is for Los Angeles County residents who meet a published household-income table or who are enrolled in a listed public benefit such as CalFresh, Medi-Cal, reduced-price school meals, SNAP, Social Security, SSDI, or TANF. After approval, riders receive unlimited free rides for 90 days on participating systems, then 20 free regional rides each month. A household-size income table is published on Metro’s official page and is not converted into a single engine limit here. Temporary South LA and Pomona extra-month promotions are not treated as the standing countywide benefit. Apply through Metro’s LIFE page.
