• Present a Medicare Health Insurance Card issued pursuant to Sections II and XVIII of the Social Security Act.
• Present a CAT half-fare I.D. card issued after April 1, 1998. Interested individuals may call (912) 233-5767 to obtain an eligibility form for the half-fare program, print the form from the link below, or visit CAT's Main Office or CAT Central.
