FARES
All ACCESS fares are predetermined based on trip length. When you place your trip reservation, the
reservationist will tell you how much your trip will cost each way. An ADA eligible trip
fare ranges
between the minimum one-way fare of $3.15 and the maximum one-way fare of $5.25. Fares are paid
from an electronic account that you will establish called
ePurse
. See the enclosed
ePurse User
Guide
for information about setting up and using your ePurse.
Personal Assistants & Companions

one

at no additional charge:
•
You must pre-schedule 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 pre-scheduled.
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 (4)
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.
