GROUP PASS PROGRAM A Group Pass Program is one in which the cost of fixed route transit fares is shared by a group. All persons within the group receive the transit benefit whether or not they actually use the service. The employer enters into an annual contract for services with the City. In this way, the cost per person for the service is significantly reduced, and ridership within the group can be expected to increase significantly.Qualifying Organizations: The City will consider any organization, public or private, for a group pass program if it: 1. 2. 3. Pricing: A base rate of $15 per quarter per employee will be levied on individuals within the organization. Term of the Contract: Contracts will normally be for a one-year period, with annual renewals. Operational Issues: Group pass participants are to have photo identification that is easily verified by the bus driver. The photo identification may be either the organization's, in which case it must have a Bend Area Transit validating sticker, or issued by the City. In either case, the cost of issuing the photo identification will be borne by the organization. Participating organizations will be responsible for administering the program within their organizations. Marketing: The City will provide trip planning assistance for the individuals of a group pass organization. Marketing of the service to individuals of a group pass organization will be conducted where it is determined to have a significant impact on ridership. Additional Links to Oregon
