Amendment to Fare Policy

overview

Overview

The Orange County Transportation Authority is modernizing its fare collection system, with the new Rider Validation System anticipated to be implemented in summer 2025.  The new system will enhance customer convenience, improve fare validation, and provide greater flexibility for introducing new fare products.  Staff is recommending amendments to the existing fare policy to incorporate daily and monthly fare caps as well as a free transfer period. The recommended changes promote fare equity and streamline payment options for riders.
