ORCA - One Regional Card for All

ORCA Options

About ORCA

No need for correct change, just tap your ORCA at the card reader and your fare is paid. Whether you commute in the region by ferry, train, rail, or bus – or a combination – one card is all you need.

ORCA is accepted on: Community Transit, Everett Transit, King County Metro Transit, Kitsap Transit, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit and Washington State Ferries.

Your card can be personalized for your needs:

  • A regional pass like PugetPass.
  • An agency-specific pass like Kitsap Transit or Washington State Ferries monthly pass.
  • No need for correct change, your ORCA transportation balance is called an E-purse.
  • A combination pass and E-purse.

And, if you register your card, you can monitor the card and have the security of balance replacement if your card is lost or stolen.

Card Cost

A standard Adult or Youth ORCA card is $5.

A Senior or Disabled ORCA Regional Reduced Fare Permit is $3. If you have a current Regional Reduced Fare Permit (RRFP) you can exchange it for a new ORCA RRFP card at any time and at no charge.

If your registered ORCA card is lost, stolen or damaged report it immediately so ORCA Customer Service can block the card. The E-purse balance at the time the card block is processed will be restored and transferred to a new card. There is a replacement fee for the new card.

A defective card will be replaced free of charge for the first 12 months at an ORCA Customer Service Office. The remaining value will be transferred to a replacement card.

If your card was provided by your employer or other organization and it is damaged or defective, please report it to whoever provided the card.
