ProPASS Employer Program

Reduce your carbon footprint and free up valuable parking space with the BC Transit ProPASS program; a simple, affordable, climate-friendly way to travel. The ProPASS employer program is free for employers to join and is a benefit program that can be provided to employees. Through employer facilitated payroll deductions, employees can purchase discounted transit access granting them unlimited travel in the Nanaimo Regional Transit System. 

Program Overview

To qualify for ProPASS, employers must have at least five employees willing to enroll for a minimum term length of one year. Employees can opt-out if they are no longer employed or are unable to utilize the transit system.

Employers are invoiced monthly for the total cost of all enrolled employees, based on the following ProPASS pricing:

Although employers are not required to provide additional subsidies, BC Transit encourages employers to consider doing so to increase affordability for employees and demonstrate corporate sustainability. Studies show that with a 50% transit subsidy up to 14% of employees will become a new transit commuter.

Ride with Umo

Signing up for ProPASS is easier than ever with the Umo electronic fare platform. Now ProPASS holders can access their ProPASS with the Umo mobile app or reloadable card.

Administrators of the ProPASS program will receive an easy to administer Umo benefit code that can be assigned with participants for redemption and use. Program administrators are required to maintain a record of benefit code assignment to allow for unenrollment when required.
