Did you know there is a Hillsborough County bus pass program that benefits low income residents? For 30 years the Sunshine Line Bus Pass Program has helped people get to where they need to go, at no cost to riders. The program provides free daily and monthly HART bus passes to low income Hillsborough County residents. Qualifying residents can receive bus fare to attend appointments, grocery shop, or make general personal trips. On average, 1,500 passes are issued every month.
Sunshine Line Bus Pass Program Eligibility & Details
Eligible residents must live within 3/4 of a mile from a HART bus route and meet the following requirements:
• meet low-income criteria
• have no other means of transportation
Household income is one of the eligibility requirements used to determine who may qualify for the Sunshine Line Bus Pass Program. To view the federal poverty guidelines used when considering eligibility, visit the Determine Eligibility webpage.
HARTPlus riders may also qualify for the bus pass program.
Bus passes must be requested at least five days in advance of your trip(s). This allows time for your daily or HARTPlus pass to be mailed to you. Monthly passes will be loaded to Flamingo Fare cards. (Riders must obtain a Flamingo Card before monthly passes can be issued.)
