Who should date the Ride Voucher?

• A. Do not date it yourself
• B. Date the voucher immediately
• C. Return it to the customer service desk for dating
• D. Leave the date blank

Answer: (A)

Dating ride vouchers is about keeping the process secure and reliable. The date on a voucher should come from the official issuing process—usually the system or designated staff at the service desk—not from the rider or another outside source. When the date is controlled by the issuing process, it stays accurate, consistent, and auditable, reducing the risk of tampering or disputes over when the voucher can be used. If someone could date it themselves, it opens the door to backdating or misdating, which can undermine policy and lead to confusion. Leaving the date blank isn’t practical because a date is needed to establish validity, and dating it at the point of issue by the proper system or staff avoids extra steps and potential misuse. So, the best practice is not to date it yourself.
