Pass Sales Program

Give your employees the convenience of obtaining transit passes at work. Your company can purchase monthly, quarterly or annual bus passes in either large or small quantities. You can then provide passes to eligible employees tax-free up to $115 a month, or sell them to employees directly or through a pre-tax payroll deduction. (See Tax Benefits for details). Regular retail fares apply, with no services fees added.

Here are the ways your company can buy bus passes in quantity:

Pre-paid orders

Place an order for passes or ticketbooks by using one of Metro's regular order options. The passes will be delivered to your company by regular or certified mail. Order online or by phone with a company Visa or Mastercard or by regular mail with a credit card, company check or money order. Ordering online allows you to create a list of the different bus passes your employees need and then save the list to use for future ordering.

Buy on Consignment

You can place a standing monthly order that will be delivered to your company each month by mail. Return any unused passes along with a check that pays for passes actually sold or distributed.

The consignment option is available to companies that:

  • expect to distribute a minimum of 10 transit passes per month, and
  • have been in business for at least one year with a sound financial history.

Steps to take:

  • Determine what passes your employees need.
  • Decide if your company will pay toward the cost.
  • Request a consignment agreement or additional information.

FlexPass

FlexPass is another pass program offering lower-cost passes when you purchase for all your employees.
