RTA hosting informational sessions on Tapp Pay, benefits of fare capping

(DAYTON, OHIO)… The Greater Dayton RTA will be hosting a series of informational sessions on the benefits of Tapp Pay and fare capping during the first week of December. Participants may also qualify to have $10 added to their Tapp Pay account.

Tapp Pay is the electronic form of payment RTA riders use to pay fares. Customers can either load funds onto a reloadable Tapp Pay card or through the Transit app on their smartphone by using a debit card, credit card, or cash. Tapp Pay allows for fare capping, which limits the amount of money a customer pays within a single day or a rolling 31-day period. This means once the customer reaches their daily or rolling 31-day cap all rides thereafter are at no charge.

The sessions will take place on the following dates and times in the passenger waiting area at Wright Stop Plaza:

• Monday, Dec. 2, from 9-11 a.m.
• Wednesday, Dec. 4, from 2-4 p.m.
• Friday, Dec. 6, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Customers who attend the sessions could be eligible to have $10 added to their Tapp Pay accounts. To be eligible, a customer must either verify or create a Tapp Pay account. Customer must be present at the event to qualify. RTA representatives will be on hand to assist.
