ORCA cards are on sale and available for purchase now through Feb. 17. ORCA cards, the regional transit pass, are available to most students at Shoreline Community College. You can purchase yours by heading to the Cashier’s Office in the second floor of the 5000 building (FOSS). Remember to bring payment, photo ID and proof of registration.
The price of the prepaid cards are subsidized through a program funded by a student fee called the Sustainable Commuting Options Fee (SCOF). The program is intended by student government to help make the program easy to use and available to most students possible.
Shoreline’s ORCA card program is simple:
- For $125, a registered student can buy a $200 ORCA ePurse card.
- The student receives an ORCA card that is immediately usable for as long as there is still money on it.
- The $75 difference is covered by a subsidy funded by the SCOF fee.
An ORCA card is the equivalent of having cash that can be used on all Community Transit, Everett Transit, King County Metro Transit, Kitsap Transit, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit and Washington State Ferries.
