Employer pass program

Metro's offers pass programs that are a low-cost, high-value benefit that help improve employee morale, health and attendance. Metro pass programs make it easier and more affordable than ever to subsidize employees’ transit costs. For a transit pass program to be effective Metro recommends that employers subsidize at least 50% of the cost. Employers may qualify for Commuter Benefits, which significantly reduce the cost of the subsidy.

Metro Annual Transit Access Pass (A-TAP)—Instead of distributing passes every month, saves time by providing employees with annual Metro passes.

Metro Business Transit Access Pass (B-TAP)—Buy an annual pass for every employee at a special group rate.

Metro Mail – Encourage use of transit by ordering monthly passes for your employees. Order your passes on-line or by mail.
