SPOKANE TRANSIT AUTHORITY (STA) UPDATE

Important changes were recently made at the Spokane Transit Authority (STA) that will affect operations at the Community Center. These updates will affect how the STA collects fares and what you need to be aware of moving forward. The changes that most directly impact the Community Center relate to our van use at the Community Center and how that will be billed.

Previously, if you had a monthly pass through STA (unlimited rides for a charge of $60), you would be able to ride the Community Center van for free. STA has now moved away from monthly passes in order to charge people less, and are now using what is called a Connect Card. The Connect Card will track paratransit rides and display your amount owed each month in your account through the STA Connect App. The Connect Card will track your number of rides, so you don’t have to pay for unused rides as was previously the case with the monthly pass. The monthly fee will never exceed $60, no matter how many rides are taken. 

Here is the link to start a Connect Card account through STA's website.
