the new website.<\/a><\/p>\nThe new smartphone app—available on the Apple app store and the Google Play store—will allow customers to manage their account from any location at any time. The updated website will feature real-time card loading, mobile phone accessibility, greater payment options, and ability to manage multiple cards.<\/p>\n
From May 14 at 3:00 a.m. until May 16 at 2:29 a.m., ORCA users in most area transit systems will not collect fares as the ORCA system transitions to the new system.<\/p>\n
Those who ride Washington ferries as a walk-on or vehicle passenger will not be charged but will need to show their ORCA cards to attendants during those two days. Vehicle driver fares will be required, and an alternative form of payment will be needed at toll booths.<\/p>\n
“When fully launched, the new ORCA system and features will make riding transit easier and more accessible and will help riders save money as they access the ever-expanding transit network in the Puget Sound region,” said O’Claire.<\/p>\n
Single-ride and pass prices will remain the same following the ORCA system transition. Later this year and into 2023, ORCA plans to increase the number of stores in its retail network, as well as introducing a smartphone tap-to-pay option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
