An annual lets you pass the pump
OCTA's Annual Employer Pass is a swipe-card that can be used on any local OCTA bus. Employees simply swipe the card through the farebox when they get on. OCTA will supply the cards free of charge.
75¢ per ride Each ride costs only 75¢ per boarding (our lowest available fare) up to a maximum of just $45.00 per month, per employee, no matter how many rides are taken. Each time the card is used; the ride is tracked by OCTA's computer system and reported to the employer on a monthly billing summary.
Even Better when employers pick up the tab Many employers choose to subsidize all or part of the amount billed. Whether subsidized or not, the amount can be deducted pre-tax from the employee's paycheck, reducing the employees taxable incom (another nice perk).
A benefit employees can use every day Not only will employees save money on transportation costs, they'll enjoy these other benefits as well:
- A stress-free commute that gets them to
- work on time.
- No monthly passes or tokens to buy.
- Passes are good anytime, any day, on all OCTA local bus routes.
- It's easy. Just swipe and go.
- Cards can be deactivated within 24 hours if they are ever lost or stolen. OCTA also encodes each card with an employer identifier to prevent forgery.

Employees aren't the only ones who win Besides making your company a better place to work, OCTA's Annual Employer Pass Program offers many other advantages to employers:
- It's simple to administer because there are no monthly passes, tickets or tokens to distribute. Everything is done electronically.
- Employers can reduce their payroll taxes by participating in a mass transit program.
- Parking problems are reduced. Fewer spaces must be devoted to employees, helping keep building and leasing costs down.
- Taking cars off the road helps reduce emissions, pollution, traffic congestion and our country's dependence on foreign oil. By participating in the program, your company becomes a better corporate citizen.
