UMO Fare Capping

Local fixed-route fares are capped at $3 per day and $30 over 31 days ($1.50 per day and $15 over 31 days for reduced-fare riders).
County Connector fares are capped at $6 per day and $50 over 31 days ($3 per day and $25 over 31 days for reduced-fare riders).
Paratransit fares are capped at $60 over a 31-day period.

Beginning Sept. 1, 2026, Skagit Transit and WTA fare caps will be tracked separately. Fare charges for trips on Skagit Transit will count only toward Skagit Transit fare caps, while fare charges for trips on WTA will count only toward WTA fare caps.
