About regional day passes
Enjoy unlimited rides per day on the region's transit services with the ORCA regional day pass.
- ORCA regional day passes can be purchased at ORCA vending machines, online at myORCA.com or via the MyORCA app for iPhone or Android.
- Starts with first use and ends at 3 am the next day.
- Accepted for regular service on public buses, trains, streetcars, and water taxis throughout the Central Puget Sound region.
- Not valid on King County Metro Access, paratransit services, Kitsap Fast Ferries, or Washington State Ferries. Not available for Autoload.
- Fares covered with the regional day pass:
- Adult $3.50
- RRFP $1.75
- ORCA LIFT $1.75
- If your regional day pass does not cover your entire transit fare, you will need to pay the difference with your ORCA card’s E-purse funds. On a bus, fare differences cannot be paid with cash. Keep money loaded onto your E-purse at all times to avoid a negative balance and possible blocked card.
- ORCA cards are not included in the Day Pass price. Adult ORCA cards cost $3. ORCA RRFP cards are initially issued at no fee to senior riders (age 65+) and riders with disabilities.
About E-purse
You can add $5 to $400 onto an ORCA card's E-purse (electronic purse), which works just like a pre-paid debit card. The ORCA tracks your rides and deducts the correct fare each time you tap. When your E-purse balance gets low, simply add value online, at a kiosk, or in person at an ORCA customer service office.

About PugetPass
Monthly passes are convenient and cost-efficient for frequent riders. These passes are valid for an unlimited number of trips during a calendar month, up to a certain fare value. You can have E-purse funds and a monthly pass on the same ORCA card at the same time—add E-purse to fund any additional fares beyond what your monthly pass covers.
