Do I have to use the app to board the shuttle?

No, but we strongly recommend it. Using Tripshot Wallet allows you to pay your fare with the least amount of hassle and at the lowest possible cost since multi-ride passes are only available through the app.

If you qualify for a reduced (member) fare through your employer, worksite, or other organizational affiliation, you can only access this reduced fare by downloading the app and setting up an account that can be verified by your organization.

Plus, the app also allows you to plan your trips, track your shuttle, and set up departure-specific alerts.

How do I get approved for reduced member fares?

Only riders who are affiliated with a 128 Business Council member company (either because the member company is the rider’s employer or because the rider’s employer is a tenant of a member company) are eligible to ride on the reduced (member) fare.

If you are affiliated with a 128 Business Council member organization, there are two steps that must occur before you can ride at the reduced (member) rate:

First, in most cases, a representative from your member organization must add your name and email address to your organization’s list of approved riders. If you have not received instructions from your organization about how to be approved and do not know who the appropriate contact person is, please email us. We will connect you.
Second, you need to create your Tripshot account. Please use the same email address that was added to your organization’s list of approved riders by your member representative—whenever possible, a work email address showing your organization’s domain name.If you’ve already been approved by your member representative and you’ve created your Tripshot account, please allow one full business day for your new reduced (member) fare rates to take effect.

In the meantime, you can use the two free shuttle rides that we provide to all newly-created accounts. You can find the two “contributed free passes” under the Tripshot Wallet “Passes” screen.

Policies & Procedures

–	Contact us 24+ hours in advance if you need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle. –
–	Stay home if you are sick for the sake of everyone’s health and wellbeing. Public transit is, by its nature, a shared space. –
–	Unless required by current federal or state mandate, masks are not required but are strongly encouraged. Please be respectful of others’ mask choices. –
–	Arrive at your shuttle stop 5+ minutes before the scheduled departure time. Give yourself plenty of time so that you don’t have to rush. Shuttles will not wait for late riders. –
–	Double-check your approaching shuttle’s destination sign before attempting to board. –
–	Do not approach the bus until the driver opens the door. Once the driver opens the door, approach the bus one at a time, and exercise patience to avoid crowding. –
–	Quickly and safely take a seat after informing the driver of your destination. –
–	Do not put personal belongings on seats when those seats are needed by fellow riders. –
–	Do not adjust marked vent windows. These should remain cracked for ventilation. –
