    Golden Passport/Patriot Passport

    Golden Passport: If you are a senior citizen 65 years and older or a Social Security beneficiary and are a permanent Miami-Dade resident, you are eligible to ride transit free with a Golden Passport. If you are 65 and older, you'll receive a permanent card. Applicants under age 64 receive a card that expires annually.

    When applying for the Golden Passport, you must submit a current government-issued picture ID, such as a US passport, alien registration, Florida driver's license, or a Florida ID as proof of age; a utility bill as proof of Miami-Dade County residency. Applicants under 65 years of age must submit a current printout from the Social Security Administration verifying eligibility, and proof of continued eligibility must be provided annually.

    Patriot Passport: All honorably discharged veterans who are permanent residents of Miami-Dade and whose annual income is $22,000 or less are eligible to ride transit free with the Patriot Passport. The Patriot Passport expires annually.

    When applying for the Patriot Passport, bring a check stub or proof of veteran's benefits as proof of income; a utility bill or VA verification letter as proof of residency; your veteran's picture ID; and your DD214 or VA 1010 form as proof of an honorable discharge. Proof of eligibility must be provided annually.

    Transit Service Centers: Register at any of the five full-service centers listed below and receive your Golden Passport or Patriot Passport immediately. Transit staff will also provide on-site registration for groups of 10 or more applicants. For more information, call 786-469-5028 weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
