August 4 is the last day Kitsap Transit will sell paper bus passes at the Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal. To avoid looking for a new way to buy your paper pass, switch to an ORCA card to hold both monthly bus or ferry passes and E-purse. Once you have your card, you can load passes each month by phone, mail or online. You can also set up Autoload to automatically load a new pass each month. Kitsap Transit will have ‘blank’ cards available during July pass sales at the Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal. You are welcome to request one in preparation for loading your own August passes. You can add E-purse or August passes at www.orcacard.com, or by calling 1-888-988-6722. Because it can take up to 48 hours to have product appear on your card after ordering through the website or phone, we suggest that you not plan on using your new blank card for July passes. You can also go online now and order both a card and passes in time for July!
