Stored Value and Fare Capping

In addition to the fare products listed above RVTD also offers stored value fare. Stored value allows passengers to load as little as $5 at a time to their Umo account. Each time you ride the bus the cost of a trip is automatically deducted from your account (not including free transfers). With fare capping you will never pay more than $56 in a month ($28 for Reduced Fare) 0r $6 in a day ($3 for Reduced Fare) no matter how many times you ride! Learn more about stored value and fare capping.

Front Street in Medford (Monday – Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm) and ask the customer service agent at the window for an application to get a Reduced Fare Card. Fill out the form and have a physician verify your disability and sign the form. Return the completed form to RVTD. Pay $2.00 for the picture ID to the customer service agent. You may now pay the reduced fare on the bus. Additionally VALID Valley Lift ID card, current Medicare card or certain veteran’s benefits (see below) is also considered a Reduced Fare Card. Presentation of one of these cards is required when purchasing any reduced fare ride, pass or token*.

*Two reduced fare tokens will no longer be accepted as a full fare payment.

Disabled Veterans

Veterans who have the following credentials qualify for reduced fare:

  • VA SORCC ID that is stamped with “service connected”
  • Temporary inpatient ID card from the VA SORCC (Your home card, valid only while you are an inpatient)
  • Picture ID with your date of birth showing you are 62 years or older
  • Government ID card stating you have a disability
  • RVTD reduced fare ID card

 

*There is no 7 day grace period with stored value fare. Fare Capping is only valid for the day or calendar month in which it was earned, once a new day or month begins the system resets and resumes charging for fare. Stored Value Fare is valid for only one rider/passenger, a passback limit is in place for stored value fare. Anti-passback is a security measure that aims to prevent consecutive transactions for one Umo/Touchpass card or account that has stored value, it prevents multiple people from using the same card/account to use the bus.
