ConnectCard:
Port Authority's Smart Card Fare System
ConnectCard is a reusable plastic smart card that makes paying your fares faster, easier and more secure than paying with cash.
Get a ConnectCard and load it with a variety of passes or stored cash value at Port Authority's Downtown Service Center, most area Giant Eagle locations and other select retailers.
Once you have a ConnectCard, you may also reload it at dozens of ConnectCard machines throughout our service area and even online by setting up an account and using our new Online ConnectCard Management system.
Paying your fare with your ConnectCard is easy too. Simply tap your ConnectCard on the orange target of the farebox or validator when you ride.
REMINDER: When traveling with more than one person, please remember that each rider must have a ConnectCard. Fareboxes and validators will not accept more than one tap from the same card.
