Hi, my name is ____. I’m calling about VIA Reduced Fares. Do you currently offer this service, who do you serve, how do I start, what should I bring, and is there a cost or cutoff time?

What to save: Keep the date, contact method, confirmation, and next instruction. Do not save private document numbers in LifePath.
If nobody answers: Try one other official contact method, check current provider information, and use a backup option rather than making an unconfirmed trip.
Household, age, family, child, pet, couple, gender, and other program restrictions are unknown unless they are listed above. Confirm anything that matters to your situation.
