What is Autoload?

Autoload offers registered cardholders the benefit of never having to worry about forgetting to buy a pass or not having enough Cash Value to ride transit. With Autoload, your Connect Card can be loaded regularly with your chosen pass before the previous pass expires, and you can Autoload Cash Value whenever your balance falls below a chosen level (Threshold Amount). Your Autoloads will be charged to your linked Payment Options (credit/debit card).

How do I Pay for the Autoload?

Your stored Payment Option (credit/debit card) will be used to pay for all Autoloads.

For a pass, your autoload will occur approximately 1 week prior to your pass expiration. (As an example, the Autoload for an October RT Monthly Pass would charge your Payment Option on approximately September 24th.)
For Cash Value, your Payment Option will be charged the day that your Autoload occurs. (When your balance falls below the Threshold Amount, your Connect Card will be reloaded with the Autoload Amount of your choice, and your Payment Option will be charged at that time.)

How do I Suspend Autoload?

You have the option to temporarily suspend the Autoload feature on your Connect Card. As an example, if you will not be riding transit much of December, you may choose to suspend the Autoload of a Monthly Pass for the month of December. A suspended Autoload can easily and automatically be re-activated on a date of your choice.

Go to Manage Cards and select the Connect Card with a pass set to Autoload.

Within that Manage Card page, select the pass set to Autoload on your Connect Card

Within the Pass Details page, select Suspend Autoload.

Choose the timeframe you want to suspend your pass from Autoload. As an example, if you will be away for a month and don’t want to a December pass, you would choose to Suspend from 12/1/2015 to 12/31/2015). Then click Confirm Suspend.
