ORCA - One Regional Card for All

Business Choice 
A business account program in which a specified pass or stored value amount is loaded onto a card or series of cards through an automatic revalue option.
Business Passport 
A business account program that provides unlimited use of transit services by employees, students or clients of a business account at a price and level of service negotiated by the lead agency and the business account.
Trains - How do I pay my fare on the Link or Sounder? 
When you ride the Link light rail or the Sounder trains, tap your card at a card reader as tapping the card is proof of payment. Please tap at the card reader even if a pass product is loaded on the card.  

***NOTE: Persons with employer-issued ORCA cards must also tap their card at a card reader to show proof of payment.*** 

Please tap your card before boarding the train and again when you've reached your destination. Initially, the system will charge your card the maximum fare and refund any difference (if warranted) to your card when you've tapped at your destination. 

Failure to tap prior to boarding is not proof of payment and can lead to a citation.
