Introducing the TARTA Card
The value of public transit in northwest Ohio takes another step in late 2024, with the arrival of the TARTA Card, featuring fare capping.
Fare capping will allow fixed-route riders to get the value of an extended pass without paying the full upfront fee. As long as they are paying with the TARTA Card, a customer would not pay more than $3 per day, $15 per week or $45 per 31-day period for their rides.
There are now 3 easy ways to get the best fares every time you ride:
- Smartphone: Download the EZfare or Transit App.
- TARTA Card: Purchase a reloadable TARTA Card that can connect to your EZfare account.
- Pay With Cash: Add cash to your EZfare account atany Vanilla Direct retail location.
FARE-CAPPING TIP: Whether you choose to use the TARTA Card or one of our apps to pay, remember to only use one method to reach your fare cap.
TARTA offers several different fare types and purchase options to best meet your needs when using the fixed-route and paratransit system. All pass and regular ticket purchases can be made on the bus, through EZfare/Transit App, or at the TARTA Transit Hub but do not qualify or count toward fare-capping. Riders can only access fare-capping through the TARTA Card, or Tap & Ride through EZfare or Transit App.
