Frequently Asked Questions
DTA Mobile Ticketing Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between the MyDTA app and the Transit App? Which one do I need/want?
The MyDTA app and the Transit app are two separate apps with separate ownership and controls. You can use either or both. Your mobile tickets/wallet will not be connected across both apps, as they are entirely separate accounts, even if you use the same e-mail.
- The MyDTA app is the DTA’s official app with tools for mobile ticketing, and links to various resources on duluthtransit.com. You can buy and activate all fare and pass options instantly using electronic payment. You can purchase and store multiple tickets if you are boarding with others or to save tickets for a later trip. It also has links to external sources like the Transit app for trip planning and KBJR 6 for local weather updates.
- The Transit app is a third-party app that is recognized as a global leader in transit trip planning. With the Transit app, you can plan your trip in more in 200+ cities around the world all with one app. It provides accurate real-time predictions, simple trip planning, step by step navigation, service alerts, and reminders. It also has the DTA’s mobile ticketing functionality built right into it. In addition, you can sync your Uber and Lyft accounts for additional travel options.
Where can I use Mobile Ticketing?
You can use mobile tickets on all DTA fixed-routes within the DTA’s service area, both in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Please verify full fare policies in advance of travel. https://www.duluthtransit.com/home/getting-there/fares-and-passes/
What types of tickets can I purchase via Mobile Ticketing?
You can purchase off-peak and peak single-ride tickets, Day Pass, 7-Day Pass, 31-day Adult and Youth Passes, and Summer Youth Passes (Youth Passes require approval before you can purchase them.)
How do I get access to Youth Passes?
Children ages four and under ride free (maximum of three) when accompanied by an attending passenger who is 13 or older. Those ages five-under 19 are eligible to have access to the 31-day and Summer Youth Passes. Access to Youth Pass types will expire once you turn 19 years of age. Access can be requested for Youth Passes at the info booth at the Duluth Transportation Center, Downtown Duluth. ID proof will be required to prove your age. Youth tickets will have a unique tone when scanned to let the bus driver know a youth ticket was used.
What are Off-Peak and Peak Tickets? How does that work?
These tickets are for single rides within the off-peak and peak timeframes. Peak times are weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. If you are going to be boarding within the peak timeframes, you must use a peak ticket. An off-peak ticket will not be accepted. If you use a peak ticket during an off-peak time, you will not be refunded the difference, but the ticket will work during the activation period. Off-peak tickets with transfer time remaining will not work in the peak-times. If you plan to transfer in the peak-time frames, please use a peak ticket.
Can I transfer to other routes with a mobile ticket?
Yes, as long as your ticket is active. Single ride tickets are valid for 60 minutes* after activation. You can check the end time of an already activated ticket by pressing the “Ticket Info” button on the ticket. *Off-peak tickets with transfer time remaining will not work in the peak-times. If you plan to transfer in the peak-time frames, please use a peak ticket.
How and when should I activate my Mobile Ticket?
You should only activate your ticket just before boarding a fixed-route bus. Please have the mobile ticket activated and ready to scan on the Mobile Ticket Validator near the farebox. Once a ticket is scanned, it cannot be used again for five minutes as a fraud prevention measure. Do not activate prior to the arrival of your bus. Tickets will be active for one hour after activating to allow for transfers. Your purchased tickets can be found in the “Ticket Wallet” on the main screen on the My DTA app.
How do I use the ticket scanner?
After activating a ticket, your ticket will display on your screen with a QR code. You can find active tickets in your “Ticket Wallet”. Please display the ticket you intend to use on your screen and place your mobile device and ticket near the ticket scanner. Your screen will automatically adjust to full brightness to properly display your pass. An audible “beep” and a green screen will announce that your ticket is valid for use.
How does the driver/ know that I have a valid ticket?
Tickets are read by the ticket scanner on the front of the bus. Additionally, mobile tickets can be validated by using visual inspection via checking the color actively changing on the ticket screen if the mobile ticket scanner is not functional.
Do I need a ticket to ride the Port Town Trolley or the DuLooper (Route 25)?
No, those routes are free to ride at this time.
Do mobile tickets expire?
Check your mobile tickets for their expiration limits, as each pass type may vary. Off-peak, peak, day-pass, and 7-day passes will expire three months after purchase. 31-day passes will expire after six months. Summer Youth Passes will expire after August 31st of the purchase year.
Do I need to set up an account to be able to use mobile tickets?
No, though DTA encourages you to set up an account to more easily track your tickets and transfer to a new device if necessary. A guest account is available to purchase peak, off-peak, and Day Passes only. 7-day and 31-day passes are only available to users with an account.
Can I get a refund for unused tickets or service disruptions?
You have five minutes to self-refund your ticket is purchased in error. Beyond that, the DTA has a no-refund policy to prevent fraud. Please review the service maps and schedules prior to purchasing your ticket and read all disclaimers. Ticket refunds may be considered, but not guaranteed, in the event of a necessary service cancellation as determined by DTA.
Are there any fees for using mobile ticketing?

The DTA is not responsible for any mobile carrier data charges that a customer incurs as a result of purchasing or using the mobile ticketing application. Mobile passes themselves do not have service fees.
Will my mobile ticket still work if I lose cell phone service while trying to use my ticket?
Mobile tickets do not require a cell phone or WiFi services to display a purchased ticket for accessing a transit vehicle. You do need connectivity, however, to purchase a ticket which must be done prior to boarding. If you lose cell phone service after activating and boarding the vehicle you will be able to activate and display the ticket from the ticket wallet.
What happens if my smartphone becomes inoperable (e.g. battery dead) prior to being able to show my mobile ticket?
You are held responsible for having a mobile phone in good working order prior to boarding. If your mobile phone is inoperable, it is expected that you would use some other payment method for the journey.
If I am traveling with friends and family, can I activate more than one ticket on my phone?
Yes. For group travel, please purchase the necessary number of tickets. You may activate multiple tickets one at a time from your mobile wallet. Simply use the arrows at the bottom of the screen to scroll through each activated ticket.
What happens if I lose my mobile device or buy a new device?
If you lose or purchase a new device you can transfer any valid, unused tickets to a new device if you have purchased the tickets using a registered account. To transfer your unused tickets and account to a new device, download the mobile ticketing app on your new device and log in. You will be prompted to confirm you wish to transfer your account to this new device. Please note, accounts can only be transferred between devices three times in six months.

What do I do if an official requests to inspect my mobile ticket?

Youth Pass Eligibility
How to Qualify for and Obtain a DTA Youth Pass
How do I get access to Youth Passes?
Children ages four and under ride free (maximum of three) when accompanied by an attending passenger who is 13 or older. Those ages five-under 19 are eligible to have access to the 31-day and Summer Youth Passes. Access to Youth Pass types will expire once you turn 19 years of age.
Here is how the process works:
Access can be requested for Youth Passes at the info booth at the Duluth Transportation Center, Downtown Duluth. You will need the following to purchase a pass:
- Identification to prove your age, which can include a school id, birth certificate, passport, or other document that provides reasonable evidence that the customer is between 5 and 19 years of age. Those turning 19 in a pass or ticket period can purchase a youth pass on or before their birthday, which will still be accepted for the reminder of that pass period.
- The individual seeking the Youth Pass must have an existing MyDTA or Transit App Mobile App account. We will need the account number, or email address used to create the account to sell the pass.
To prevent fraud, Youth Tickets will have a unique tone when scanned to let the bus driver know a youth ticket was used.
