SEPTA has notified the University that its magnetic-stripe paper passes are being retired. The September monthly passes will be the last transit fare paper products distributed by mail. 

Commuters who currently receive a monthly paper pass mailed through Health Equity/WageWorks must transition to a SEPTA Key Card no later than Thursday, September 10 to have their October commuter benefits continue uninterrupted. Once the account is transitioned, any future passes will be loaded electronically on to the SEPTA Key Card. 

Converting to the SEPTA Key reloadable transit fare card requires a three-step process:

• Buy a SEPTA Key Card at any of the SEPTA locations listed online at www.septa.org/key/resources/sales.html There is also a SEPTA Key Card kiosk conveniently located at the Penn Bookstore, 3601 Walnut Street, ground floor. 
• Register/activate your SEPTA Key Card at www.septakey.org
• Log in to your Health Equity/WageWorks account to transition your pass to SEPTA Key; https://idp.pennkey.upenn.edu/idp/profile/SAML2/Unsolicited/SSO?providerId=WageWorks

Instructions from SEPTA and Health Equity/WageWorks to guide you through the process are found at https://cms.business-services.upenn.edu/transportation/permits-passes/commuter-passes/septa-compass.html
