  • Public Hearing on New Ways to Pay Your Fare

    WTA's Board of Directors will hold a Public Hearing at their virtual meeting on Dec. 10, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. to receive public comment on proposed changes to the Fare Rates and Rules.  For meeting access instructions, visit http://www.ridewta.com/meeting

    To review the entire proposed Fare Rates and Rules document, click here​. Here's a summary of what we're proposing to add to our current Fare Rates and Rules:

    • Add Stored Value to your TouchPass account. Stored value allows riders to load funds to their TouchPass account to pay per trip. Stored value does not expire and can be used on any fixed route bus, including the 80X. 
    • Pay as you go with TouchPass, and benefit from Fare capping. Fare capping sets a "cap" on the amount a rider will pay within a specific time period. Once the Fare Cap is reached, all rides are free until the end of that time period. This provides an incentive to ride (once all rides are free) and allows riders to get a "pass like" discount even if they prefer to pay as they go. 

    ​Those unable to attend the Public Hearing can comment by 3:00 p.m., Dec. 9th using one of the following methods. 

    Phone: 360-676-7433
    E-mail: customerservice@ridewta.com
    Or Mail:
    Tami Coleman
    Revenue Manager
