You may use your EdPass/ORCA card on:

• Community Transit

Washington State Ferries requires funds to be added at ORCA stations or online at myORCA.com.

Note: EdPass/ORCA cards will only activate for use on the first day of classes and are valid till the first day of the next quarter.

Note: The ORCA card number is located on the back of the card, above the magstripe.

Disclaimer: You cannot add funds to your ORCA ePurse via the Edmonds College deposit stations. Funds deposited on the EC stations only apply to on-campus services (FLEX account).

You must tap the ORCA card to ride (scan the card at the ORCA card reader upon entering the bus or before boarding Swift buses). If the card is not tapped, the fare has not been paid.

No, it is not required, but recommended. Parking is limited on campus and using the bus reduces our campus carbon footprint.

New Student EdPass cards and EdPass/ORCA cards can only be issued at the end of the previous quarter.

Bring your current EdPass, or a valid Photo I.D.

No.

Students: The full amount of $26 may be refunded anytime during the current quarter if the card has not been used.
