The EPass program is an annual discounted transit pass, purchased by the employee through payroll deduction. The employer and SmartTrip each contribute 12.5% per pass, per month which provides the employee a savings of 25% per month (see table below for cost breakdown). There is no minimum number of employees required to participate, but employees must sign up for a 12-month period.
The EPass program is only available through the SmartTrip Program. Learn more about the SmartTrip program here.
