How to ride for free with a GoPass TAP card

- Register your new GoPass TAP card online or by calling 866.TAPTOGO. Your card will not work until it is registered.
- Follow the instructions to load a yearly pass onto your GoPass TAP card. Wait 4 hours for your card to be activated, and then tap on a rail gate, rail validator, bus farebox, bus mobile validator, or at any TAP Vending Machine within 30 days, or your pass will not be activated.
- Use your GoPass TAP card to take unlimited rides on Metro and participating partner agencies during the pilot period (through July 31, 2022).
Don’t forget to take a photo of the back of your GoPass TAP card in case it is lost or stolen. You can contact your school administration for a replacement card, and then visit taptogo.net/gopass to activate the new card. Your original TAP card will be deactivated.
