This fall, Sound Transit reduced the ORCA LIFT one-way fare from $1.50 to $1 for all ST services as part of a 6-month pilot project. Your opinion will inform the Sound Transit Board’s decision on making the $1 fare permanent.

From Sound Transit:  ORCA, the Puget Sound’s all-in-one transit card is now available for purchase and reloading at more stores. Beginning this month with the addition of Fred Meyer, more stores will be added on an ongoing basis, eventually doubling the number of locations and adding more availability at locally owned businesses.

From Sound Transit: Free permits now available for November for two or more transit riders who carpool together.

All vending machines will now sell both the classic and new version of the adult ORCA card. What you need to know: New ORCA cards temporarily cannot be reloaded at retail store locations through fall 2022.

Starting Thursday, Sept. 1, if you’re 18 or younger, riding transit is as simple as boarding a bus, light rail train, streetcar or Water Taxi. Your cost to ride: $0.

The Free Youth Transit Pass is live! The new program is being implemented in partnership with other regional transit agencies to create a seamless experience for riders.
