WHY TAP ON/TAP OFF?
Tapping your card when you board and exit is an important part of the transit pass agreement between your university and UTA. These taps don’t keep track of who you are or where you go, but they do:
- Show that valid fare has been paid for your transit trip
- Tell UTA how many people are riding which routes
- Gather ridership data so UTA can adjust service to better meet riders’ needs
- Provide info about how many students and staff are using transit passes
- Prove to your university that the transit pass is a helpful benefit for students and staff
As the rider, you are responsible for tapping on and off when you board and exit. Please do your part to make sure the pass program works effectively.
