The uPASS Reach is a UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification. Based passive UHF technology (± 900 MHz), vehicles are identified up to 5 meters (16,4 feet).
How do I activate my U-Pass?
To activate your U-PASS, you must tap it on an ORCA card reader within 60 days of issuance. ORCA card readers are found at the front of buses or mounted on a wall or pole at Link, Sounder or Swift stations. At RapidRide stations you have the option to tap on the ORCA reader at the station or on the bus as you enter.
Why is my U-Pass not working?
This issue is usually resolved by tapping the card again on its own. If that didn't work, check the card for damage. If it's cracked, chipped, peeling or warped, you'll need to visit the Husky Card office to ask for a replacement. (A fee is charged for most replacement cards.)Dec 2, 2015
