The health and safety of our passengers and employees remains our top priority and we are taking additional precautions to protect our most vulnerable passengers. We have developed an extensive safety plan in conjunction with the Livingston County Health Department and have implemented transit industry best practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19 onboard our vehicles. Please see details below under COVID-19 Preventive Measures.

Universal Reduced Fare Card

L.E.T.S. is participating in the Universal Reduced Fare Card pilot program in partnership with the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the Michigan Developmental Disabilities Council (MDDC), and the Michigan Public Transit Association (MPTA). The reduced fare card allows riders who are issued a reduced fare card by their "home" transit system the ability to receive reduced fare at any participating transit agency in the state (the card holder will receive reduced fare as defined by the agency they're visiting). Please see this map of participating agencies by county, and call our dispatch office if you have any questions or would like to apply for a card.
