ORCA card
The ORCA ("One Regional Card for All") card is a contactless, stored value smart card used for payment of public transport fares in the Puget Sound region of Washington state. ORCA was introduced on a limited basis on April 20, 2009, with a full public launch in June 2009. Applying for an ORCA card need a $5 (or less) fee.
== History ==
Central Puget Sound transit agencies have collaborated in a region-wide fare system since 1991 with the introduction of U-PASS and later FlexPass. In 1996, voters approved Sound Move, which called for an integrated regional fare policy for a "one-ticket ride".〔Sound Transit. "Sound Move—The 10-Year Regional
Transit System Plan". 1996.〕 That goal led to the creation of the PugetPass in 1999, which allowed transit riders to use a single pass for five transit agencies.〔 (via Archive.org)〕
On April 29, 2003, an agreement to implement a smart card system between the seven agencies in the Central Puget Sound Regional Fare Coordination Project (Sound Transit, King County Metro, Community Transit, Everett Transit, Pierce Transit, Kitsap Transit, and Washington State Ferries) was signed along with a US$43 million contract〔 awarded to ERG Transit Systems as the vendor of the project. ERG was purchased by Cubic Transportation Systemsin 2009. The ORCA card was originally anticipated to be operational in 2006.
