The RTC Discount ID Card Program ensures only eligible individuals receive transit fare discounts. Cordoba Corporation serves as the central processor, verifying applicants' eligibility and producing ID cards to prevent fraud across multiple Bay Area transit agencies. Originally each agency handled applications separately, but consolidation has improved consistency, reduced fraud, and saved money for the past 15 years despite growing to process 3,000 applications per month. A new procurement process will select the next central processor in Fall 2012.
