Free pass for first 90 days
Once you’re approved, a 90-day pass for unlimited free rides will be added automatically to your TAP card and can be used on any participating transit system. Plus, you’ll be able to purchase fare products on participating transit systems at a reduced cost.
Get 20 free rides every month
After your first 90 days, you can add 20 free regional rides onto your TAP card every month at your local TAP vendor, online at taptogo.net or by calling 866.827.8646.
Save with fare capping
After 20 rides have been used, you can pay for each ride by adding Stored Value to your TAP card. Ride for free after three rides in one day and 11 rides in a week.
