• Personal-Care Attendant - Attendant traveling with eligible disabled customer.

Transfer Policy

When transferring, the first fare you pay with your ORCA card or contactless payment will transfer with you for up to 2 hours on most other ORCA transit services, except Washington State Ferries and Kitsap Transit Fast Ferries. This means that you can transfer between many services for free within a 2-hour window. If any part of your trip costs more than your transfer fare, you will only have to pay the difference. Transfers are not accepted or issued on Kitsap Fast Ferries. 

To receive a transfer fare, tap the same ORCA card or contactless payment  (credit card/debit card/digital wallet) at each leg of your trip.

Riders paying with cash can request a paper transfer. Paper transfers are valid at transfer centers and transfer points only for the next connecting Kitsap Transit bus or Local Foot Ferry. Paper transfers are NOT valid on Kitsap Transit Fast Ferries.

Vanpool

The monthly cost of riding a Kitsap Transit vanpool is determined by the size of the van and the number of daily round-trip miles the van travels. The total fare is divided among the members of the vanpool. Click here for the vanpool fare chart.
