Area FlexPass Programs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the value of the transit portion of the FlexPass
The Area FlexPass in all areas has a $4.75 face value, making it valid across all zones on King County Metro Transit and Sound Transit regular routes. Compare the retail cost of a single $4.00 annual PugetPass at $1,584.
Can our company share the cost of the Area FlexPass with our employees?
Yes. The employer agrees to pay for an Area FlexPass program based on the full number of employees at the company. The company can then choose to have employees who receive the pass co-pay up to 50% of the cost of an individual pass.
Is the Area FlexPass transferable outside the company?
No. The Area FlexPass is an employee benefit and cannot be transferred to friends or family. The pass is purchased by the company and must be relinquished to the company upon request.
Can a company reuse a pass?
Yes. Once the passes are purchased the company can transfer them to employees within the company. Example: an employee who quits or is terminated surrenders the pass; that pass can be given to a new employee.
