Overview
- Contactless bank cards and mobile wallets are being accepted across agencies during the rollout, alongside existing physical Clipper cards.
- Riders pay full fare on their first agency, then receive automatic discounts up to $2.85 on the next leg, with free rides when the second fare is below that.
- Instant value reloads and improved auto-reload replace prior multi-day delays for funds to appear in accounts.
- Family account management is debuting in the app, though the initial phase applies to adult fares and concession riders should continue using eligible Clipper cards.
- Officials say the transition will be gradual; riders can upgrade via the Clipper website and are advised to tap with a single bank card to avoid unintended charges.
