New app required for free TARC rides starting April 1, 2025
UofL Cardinal Cards will be deactivated for use on TARC services March 31. Beginning April 1, enrolled students and employees must use a Token Transit registered application for free TARC rides. To access your free TARC rides with the Token Transit app:
- Download the app from the Apple App Store and Google Play. You will receive an email from orders@mail.tokentransit.com, with the subject line “Redeem Your Transit Pass for TARC.” (Be sure to check your “Focused,” “Other” and “Spam” folders.)
- From your mobile device, tap the Token Transit app icon in the email.
- Tap "Redeem" in the Token Transit app to finish adding the pass to your app. This will store your pass under “Stored Passes.”
- In the “My Passes” section of the Token Transit app, you will see your inactive pass under “Stored Passes.” To activate the pass, tap “Tap to use this pass.” Your active pass is now ready to use! Simply scan the pass from your phone over the card reader when you board any bus, including the 94 Cardinal Shuttle.
Further information will be shared with the UofL community later this month. For questions, email ulpark@louisville.edu.
