Washoe Senior Ride/Taxi Bucks Program
The Washoe Senior Ride (WSR) Taxi Bucks program is a subsidized taxi program of the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) and is funded by the ¼% of Washoe County sales tax allocated for public transportation. WSR provides alternative, reliable, and affordable transportation to Reno or Sparks, Nevada residents 60 years and older, RTC ACCESS clients (any age), and Reno or Sparks, Nevada Veterans (any age).
Each month WSR registered participants will receive a $60 taxi fare subsidy. Participants are issued an RTC WSR CardONE re-loadable card, which can be used to pay any part of a taxi fare. The taxi fare subsidy automatically loads each month for the duration of the program, and unused taxi fares do not roll over to the next month. This program and the subsidy are subject to available funding and may be changed or terminated by the RTC at any time. PLEASE NOTE:
This program cannot be used together with the RTC Washoe-Uber Rides or RTC Washoe-Lyft Rides voucher programs. After one year with your initial choice, you may switch to the Lyft or Uber program by submitting a new application.
Please visit Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County at 1105 Terminal Way to submit a new application.
