Transportation Fares

The new fare structure simplifies and adds more value to each pass. Riders are purchasing time instead of trips and may buy their passes at various locations throughout the city found here.  

Other benefits of the new fare structure include:

  • Unlimited rides for time purchased;
  • No more transfer fees;
  • No more period passes - rolling passes activate on your first use; and
  • Faster boarding.
