LANTA Announces Revised ValleyRide Launch Date & Webinar

The Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority (LANTA) today announced that the updated launch date for ValleyRide, its next-generation fare collection system, is now set for August 12, 2025. ValleyRide offers account-based ticketing and fare capping, streamlining how riders pay for transit.

To help riders understand the new system, LANTA will host two live webinars titled “All Things ValleyRide” on Monday, August 11, 2025 at the following times:

  • 10:00 AM Eastern Time
  • 6:00 PM Eastern Time

During the webinars, participants will learn how to create a new ValleyRide account, navigate the online portal, load funds, and take advantage of fare capping features. A Q&A session will follow the presentation.

Information for Current Transit App Users

Current Transit App users:

  • Starting August 12, you’ll need to create a new ValleyRide account directly within the Transit App to purchase tickets and passes.
  • Visit ValleyRide for more information or, Riders Guide for Step by step instructions.

Token Transit Passes

Token Transit tickets and passes will no longer be sold after August 12, 2025, but will continue to be accepted on board through August 31, 2025. We recommend purchasing Token Transit passes only for travel on the same day to avoid unused tickets after August 31.

All users will need to create a new account and transition to account-based ticketing beginning August 12. For more information, visit LANTAbus.com/valleyride.
