MST launches Uber voucher program for eligible riders

A new transit option

Monterey-Salinas Transit has launched an Uber voucher program for people with disabilities, seniors and veterans. The program adds Uber vouchers to the transportation options offered through the regional transit agency.

Who the program serves

The program is aimed at three groups: people with disabilities, seniors and veterans. Eligibility rules, the value of the vouchers and the steps for obtaining them were not stated in the announcement.

What riders should know

Riders will need information from Monterey-Salinas Transit about how to apply for or receive a voucher and how the vouchers can be used for Uber trips. Details such as service boundaries, ride limits and expiration dates will determine how the program works in practice.

Monterey County Weekly reported on the launch. Monterey-Salinas Transit is the agency behind the program.
