Using ACCESS Service

Fares

All ACCESS fares are predetermined based on trip distance.

When you place your trip reservation, the reservationist will

tell you how much your trip will cost each way. Based on trip

distance, your fare will be $3.15, $3.90, or $5.25. Fares are paid

from a personal electronic account that you establish called

ePurse. See the enclosed ePurse User Guide for information

about setting up and using your ePurse.

Personal Assistants and Companions

If you require the assistance of another person to complete your

trip or its purpose, you may take one personal assistant at no

additional charge:

•

You must preschedule your personal assistant and she/he

must be picked up and dropped off at the same point as you

•

If you are being accompanied by someone whose presence is

desired but not necessary, that person will be your companion

•

You may take one companion who must also be prescheduled.

You will pay a fare equal to yours for your companion. Additional

companions may be scheduled on a space available basis.

Discounts

Groups of four or more passengers traveling from the same

origin to the same destination may be eligible for a discount.

More information about discounts is available from the ACCESS

program office.
