Transportation Wallet Central Eastside

Transit: TriMet and Portland Streetcar

Load your existing Hop card or get a new one

You can use your Transportation Wallet benefits by applying them to a new or existing Hop Fastpass® card. Also called “Hop cards,” these refillable fare cards are used to pay for rides on TriMet, Portland Streetcar, and some other Portland-area transit services.

If you already have a Hop card, simply enter the 16-digit number and security code when you redeem your public transit benefits. Your Hop card will instantly load and you can start using your benefits right away.  

If you don’t have a Hop card already, no problem! We will load a new Hop card with your transit benefits and mail it to you.

Reload your Hop card when your balance reaches $50 or less

Your TriMet benefits are split into two installments in your Transportation Wallet. Redeem the first $100 installment onto your Hop card when you first sign-up. When your balance reaches $50 or less you can redeem the second installment, which is an additional $100 (for a total of $200 in value!).

BIKETOWN: Portland’s bike-share program

Your Transportation Wallet includes a $99 BIKETOWN credit that may be used toward unlocking fees and ride time as a pay-as-you-go user.
