Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if I am eligible for Dial-A-Ride (DAR) services?
A: If you feel you need DAR service, the first thing to do is call (360) 385-4777, write or email us to request an application form. Once you apply, eligibility is determined and the application is accepted or denied. Transit will make a determination of eligibility within 21 days. If you feel your application has been wrongly denied, you may appeal the decision.
Q: Is Jefferson Transit using the ORCA card system?
A: The ORCA Card Program available on many large urban transit systems has not yet been adopted by Jefferson Transit. In lieu of the ORCA Card, passengers using Jefferson Transit pay one low, exact-change cash fare for an all-day pass that entitles them to ride the entire Jefferson Transit system. This all-day pass fare structure also negates the need to consider timed transfers that exist on some of the urban transit systems using the ORCA Card.
As with anyone riding Jefferson Transit buses, passengers in possession of an ORCA Card can purchase an all-day pass for $ 1.50 to ride the Jefferson Transit system. Passengers in possession of a reduced fare ORCA Card are able to purchase the same all-day pass for the reduced fare rate of $ 1.00. Neither situation results in any deductions from the passenger’s ORCA Card balance.
Q: What is a reduced fare permit? Am I eligible? Where do I get one?
A: If you're a senior or a person with a disability, you can ride for less when you use public transportation services to travel around Puget Sound. The Regional Reduced Fare Permit (RRFP) is an ID card that entitles you to discount fares on eleven transportation systems (Community Transit, Everett Transit, Intercity Transit, Jefferson Transit, Kitsap Transit, Mason Transit, King County Water Taxi, King County Metro Transit, Pierce Transit, Skagit Transit, Sound Transit and Washington State Ferries). Please see the links below for information regarding eligibility or contact Customer Service at 360-385-4777.
