How to Pay for your Ride

Your one-way fare is based on the distance you travel. Please see the Fare Card in your Welcome Packet for current fares. You can also find fare information online at accessla.org.

Cash

You can pay in cash — exact change only, please. (Drivers cannot make change.)

Credit/Debit Card

Customers can pay their fare with the following major credit cards – VISA®, MasterCard®, or Discover®. Customers may also use debit cards to pay for their fare.

Coupons

You can use convenient Access coupons. Available in booklets of 10, you will find current prices on your Fare Card. There are two kinds of coupons:

Base Fare coupons are for trips up to 19.9 miles.
Plus Zone coupons are for trips of 20 miles or more. You can use Plus Zone coupons by themselves or you can combine a Plus Zone coupon with a Base Fare coupon.

It will take 7 to 10 days to receive your coupons. (If your check is returned, you will need to send a money order to replace the returned check.
