Effective August 10, 2025, CommuterDirect will no longer accept student discounts via the Student Advantage program, as directed by the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA).
We recommend exploring alternative discount options or contacting your school's administration for potential resources. We understand this change may impact your plans and budgeting, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
This decision is mandated by the MTA and beyond our control. For questions or assistance, please contact us Monday - Friday, 7am - 6pm at 703-228-7433. Thank you for your understanding and for being a valued customer.
Some transit systems offer discounted fare products for seniors (65+) or persons with disabilities. These items will appear in gray in the list of products, and you will not be able to order them, unless two conditions are met: 1) You must be logged in to your account. 2) You must have contacted CommuterDirect.com to establish your eligibility to receive the appropriate discount.
CommuterDirect.com account holders may register an ID online to establish eligibility for reduced fares. From any page in the site click on the "Manage Account" link and select "Register a Reduced Fare ID" under "Account Settings." From this screen you will be able to upload a Senior or Disability ID. Uploaded files must be in JPG, PNG, or PDF format and no larger than 4 MB. Your request will be reviewed by CommuterDirect.com staff, who may contact you for further information to establish your eligibility.
For more information, call CommuterDirect.com at 703-228-RIDE (703-228-7433).
