- TriMet has a plan to subsidize fare for low-income riders, giving 50 percent off day passes and 72 percent off monthly passes. If implemented, the discounted rate would be available to households that make up to twice the federal poverty rate: $23,760 for one person or $48,600 for a family of four. The agency wants $11 million a year to implement the plan, potentially from the state government. Elliot Njus/Oregonian
