Simcoe County LINX Transit – Support Person Pass
The support person pass is designed for people who require assistance using transit to get to their destination. The program allows a customer’s support person to travel for free on Simcoe County LINX Transit conventional or specialized services.
Any customer who requires support can apply for a Support Person Card. This card identifies a person who needs assistance while travelling on LINX Transit due to a disability. The person assisting will not pay a fare.
There is no fee for your first card, or if you need to replace a damaged card.
ELIGIBILITY FOR THE SUPPORT PERSON PASS
The program is open to anyone who, due to a disability, cannot travel independently on conventional or specialized transit service. The support person can be a family member, friend, paid attendant or volunteer – anyone who travels with you to assist you in using transit.
