ORCA on June 1 launched a new promotional pass, the 3-Day Puget Pass, allowing riders to save money on transit across the Puget Sound region throughout the summer. This promotional Regional Day Pass is available through Aug. 31, 2026.
According to a news release, the 3-Day Puget Pass is a multi-day pass that allows adult fare riders to travel around the region for an $18 flat rate, or $6 for ORCA LIFT and RRFP Senior and Disabled fare riders. This pass makes it simple for riders to enjoy unlimited transit options across multiple days, perfect for a long weekend trip to Seattle or a major event around the region.
To purchase a 3-Day Puget Pass, you will need to have a plastic ORCA card or digital ORCA card for Android users in Google Wallet. Adult ORCA cards cost $3 and ORCA LIFT and RRFP Senior and Disabled cards are free. You can purchase and add a three-day pass to your ORCA card online at myORCA.com, in the myORCA app, at an ORCA Ticket Vending Machine, at an ORCA customer service location, or by contacting us at 888-988-6722 / TTY: 711. If you have a digital ORCA card in Google Wallet, you can add the pass to your ORCA card via the Google Wallet app.
After purchasing a pass, it will activate the next time you tap your ORCA card. Once active, three-day passes must be used for three consecutive days in a row and expire at 3 a.m. following the third day of use.
Three-day passes cover unlimited rides on services with fares up to $3 per ride for adults and $1 for Senior, Disabled or ORCA LIFT cardholders. Additional E-purse money is required if taking trips with fares higher than $3 Adult or $1 reduced fare.
Details of the Promotional 3-Day Pass:
– Adult Fare Pass Price: $18
– ORCA LIFT, Senior, or Disabled Fare Pass Price: $6
– Promotion Duration: June 1-Aug. 31, 2026 (three months)
– Pass Usage: Three-day passes must be used for three consecutive days and are best suited for riders expecting to take transit more than two times per day for three days in a row.
– *Unlimited Travel: Purchase one pass to ride and transfer between all eligible ORCA agencies for three consecutive days. Additional E-purse funds may be required to cover trips on King County Water Taxi, Seattle Center Monorail and Sounder trains.
– Exclusions: Three-day pass does not include fares for Washington State Ferries, Kitsap Transit Fast Ferries, and select regional services.
This promotional pass launches ahead of the World Cup in Seattle. With many visitors and locals expected to attend events across the region, the 3-Day Puget Pass is a convenient and cost-effective way for transit riders to travel for multi-day events, especially when riding regional buses and Link light rail.
After Aug. 31, ORCA will review options for extending the promotional 3-day pass fare.
