VVTA’s annual Fare Media Program for the 2026 season is accepting applications from Non-Profit Agencies through February 13th, 2026.
This Scholarship Program is designed for nonprofit agencies to assist low-income individuals, those with disabilities, or seniors who currently lack transportation options or are unfamiliar with the VVTA system and therefore are unable to utilize it.
The Fare Media Program helps individuals utilize the local transit system, as well as to help subsidize the cost of their travel. It is VVTA’s goal to utilize these funds to the maximum extent possible and serve as many individuals as possible. Non-profit organizations that serve these communities and these individuals may apply on behalf of their clients for these funds.
Let VVTA help get your clients get to where they need to go!
