The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) aims to offer all Chicagoans an affordable, accessible and fun transportation option. Divvy For Everyone (D4E) provides a one-time $5 Annual Membership to qualifying residents. The program also incorporates a cash payment system for those Chicagoans who do not have debit or credit card, required for a standard full-price Divvy membership.
D4E is available to Chicago residents aged 16 and older with an annual household income at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level. Visit this link for income info.
The D4E (Divvy for Everyone) program allows qualifying residents to sign up for a $5 Annual Membership, without needing a Credit or Debit card. This is aimed to remove financial barriers to purchasing a membership and accessing the system. We’ve added new features to make the program more accessible than ever before.
Program Features:
- One-time $5 Annual Membership
- Residents can now show proof of SNAP,WIC,LINK, LIHEAP or public housing assistance to qualify for a Divvy for Everyone membership.
- After the initial $5 annual membership, the cost gradually increases over a period of 4 years to a maximum payment of $75.00, similar to the student membership program (see pricing below)
- Cash payment option for any usage fees incurred at participating 7-Eleven, Family Dollar stores, and CVS.
- Option to keep membership through a LISC-supported credit-building program
- Trips up to 45 minutes, the same as a standard Annual Membership.

How to make cash payments
On the 12th of each month members will receive an invoice for any late fees and or monthly membership payments via email, text message or US mail.
Payments can be made at any 7-Eleven, CVS or Family Dollar locations. Simply print out the invoice or pull it up on your phone so the store clerk can scan the invoice and then pay.
Minors who apply will have their eligibility determined based on their parent or guardian’s income, and their parent or guardian must sign the Divvy user agreement on their behalf. Learn more at the Divvy For Everyone Page.
