Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Jump Around Carson (JAC) is run by Carson City Public Works. Its fixed-route fares are "Standard Adult $1.50" and "Reduced Senior/Youth/Disabled/Military $0.75", with a $40 standard and a $20 reduced monthly pass; children 4 and under and transfers ride free. Who counts as military. The fare page does not define it, and neither do the FAQs or the Regional Transportation Commission's records for the past year. A veteran with a disability can take the reduced fare as a disabled rider: "Medicare cards are accepted for the reduced fare", and Senior/Disabled ID cards are issued at the JAC office as proof. Whether a veteran without a disability gets the military fare is the JAC office's call: (775) 841-RIDE (7433), [email protected], 3770 Butti Way. Passes are sold at the JAC office, the Treasurer's Office at City Hall, the Library and through the Token Transit app.
