Pittsburgh Regional Transit uses application MT-301 to issue a Reduced Fare card that lets riders with a permanent or temporary disability pay half fare. A physician meets it when a patient without a Medicare card needs Parts II and III certified. PRT also requires a signed letter on the physician's letterhead naming the same disability, and it accepts only original documents.
The applicant completes Part I. The treating physician completes Part II by checking each applicable functional criterion, describes the disability, marks it permanent or temporary with an expected end month and year, and signs; a separate signed letter on letterhead is also required.

Application - Reduced Transit Fare Identification Card (Reduced Transit Fare Program for Handicapped Persons)
If your copy of the form is a fillable PDF, upload it once and Vero Documents fills it from the visit note and the chart, ready for you to review and sign. Download, print, or email the finished form, with the patient’s consent.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

PRT asks for a written letter on the physician's letterhead that names the medical disability as listed in Part III of the application and carries the physician's signature. It goes in with the original application, and both must reach the Downtown Service Center within 30 days of their dates.
No. If the rider has a Medicare card, the physician does not need to complete Part II or Part III. The rider brings the Medicare card and a photo ID to PRT's Downtown Service Center. Riders 65 and older use Pennsylvania's free transit program for seniors instead.
Part II lists seven physician criteria: difficulty with stairs or escalators, boarding or leaving a vehicle, standing in a moving vehicle, uncorrectable vision loss, uncorrectable hearing loss, needing a cane, crutches or other device, and needing another person's help or special training to use transit. The back of the form defines each one.
