OCCK Transportation is now offering a no-contact option riders can use to pay their fares.

Scheduled to launch today, Token Transit is a new mobile ticketing program that allows people to ride all OCCK Transportation services, including CityGo, 81 Connection, Regional Paratransit, City of Abilene, and KanConnect, and pay their fares without touching cash or tickets and coupons.

The app is free and is available in both the Apple and Google Play stores. Using Token Transit eliminates the need for hard surface contact at the fare box between drivers and passengers. It is a cashless, cardless, and contactless payment solution.

“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Token Transit for this cashless fare option,” said Trell Grinter, transportation director for OCCK, Inc. “We are constantly looking for ways of improving our services for both our passengers and our drivers. Using a cashless system provides less contact and more convenience.”

To use Token Transit, riders must first download the Token Transit mobile app. Second, they need to purchase their transit passes. Finally, riders can use their phones to tap their passes from the Token Transit app and board the buses or vans on which they want to ride. The location feature must be enabled on cellphones to use Token Transit.
