New Rates Going into Effect for SWITA

Southwest Iowa Transit Agency (SWITA) has new fare rates going into effect on August 1, 2025, the first increase in rates on the transit system in more than a decade. The increase was approved by the SWIPCO board because the overall cost to provide transit service continues to grow.  SWITA fares are still significantly lower than similar transit agencies in the state.

The new fares are:

• Student fares- $.25 fare increase to $1.75
• Taxi fare- $.50 fare increase to $3 for general public or $2.50 for those 60 years and older with a current Connections Area Agency on Aging form.
• Medical trips–$ 5.00 per hour increase to $35/hr
• Special trips–$5.00 per hour increase to $45/hr
• Charter trips—$20.00 per hour increase to $75/hr

SWITA is always working hard to serve the residents of Southwest Iowa with safe, reliable, and affordable transportation and we appreciate riders’ cooperation as we make this transition. All SWITA services are open to the public.

SWIPCO is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.
