Mobile Rider App
Why download Tripshot?

Reduced (or free) member fares and multi-ride passes are only available through the Tripshot app.

You can board without the app—but you’ll need to use exact bills/change to buy a single-ride, full public fare.

Plus, the app also tracks your shuttle, plans your trips, and sends you real-time notifications.
Quick Start Guide
1. Download the app.
Scan the QR code above, use this Tripshot download link, or search Tripshot in your app store to download.
Open the app and search for The Grid.
Tap Sign up to create an account. If you qualify for reduced fares, use your work email address.
Check your email for the confirmation link. Then follow the prompts to finish setup. When asked, allow location and notifications.
2. Set up your wallet.
If you qualify for reduced fares, get approved before purchasing passes.
Open the main menu (three horizontal bars, upper left) and tap Wallet.
To buy single- or multi-ride passes, tap Passes, then the plus sign (+, upper right) to view the Grid pass catalog.
Or tap Balance to add funds to your wallet. Use them later to buy passes or directly withdraw the cost of a single ride at boarding.
3. Board the shuttle.
With Bluetooth: As your shuttle approaches, open Wallet and choose your shuttle from Nearby Vehicles.
Without Bluetooth: Find the QR code inside the shuttle door. Open Wallet and tap Board by scanning QR code.
Either way, Tripshot will activate one ride from your “unactivated” passes. If you have no applicable pass, Tripshot will deduct a single-ride fare from your Balance.

Common Tripshot Questions
Yes. If the reduced member fare on your route is $0—or if your employer is enrolled in our fare-free boarding program and covers the cost of your fare—you still need to download Tripshot and set up your Wallet (using your work email) so your member affiliation can be approved. At boarding, Tripshot will automatically issue a fare-free activated pass without any payment being charged. Learn more about the reduced fare approval process.
