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 their regional transit system.
Program Overview
To qualify for ProPASS, employers must have at least five employees willing to enroll for the required minimum term length. 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. 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.
ProPASS Availability
The BC Transit ProPASS program is available in multiple transit systems, with new systems expected to launch in the near future. If you are unable to find your transit system, reach out to inquire as to when ProPASS is expected to launch near you.
