Wikipedia Overview
The Arc card is a contactless smart card and automated fare collection system being introduced to transit services in the Edmonton Metropolitan Region. The initial launch started in the last week of August 2021, when U-Pass holders began receiving Arc Cards from their respective institutions. A pilot-testing period with 500 adult fare users began on January 1, 2022, and the system opened to all adult fare-paying passengers on November 21, 2022. As of January 2024, Arc is also available for youth and students, and seniors. Low Income and Paratransit users were added in August 2024. In December 2025, Arc card readers began accepting fare payments made by directly tapping debit cards, credit cards, and mobile devices.
