TransLink discontinues Employer Pass Program effective January 1, 2014

Your transit options beginning January 1

Integrated Protection Services – Parking, Access & Commuter Services has compiled some information that may be helpful to help employees transition smoothly from Employer Pass Program (EPP).

EPP-Pass-Sample

Employer Pass Program
If you are an EPP subscriber, this is to remind you of TransLink’s discontinuation of its Employer Pass Program effective January 1, 2014.

What Do I Do Next?
To purchase a pass from January 2014, please check your transit fare options below for information. Note that TransLink’s Monthly Pass is the closest product to replace your annual EPP pass.

What is Happening with TransLink’s Compass Card Roll Out?
Please be reminded that the Compass Card implementation is further delayed.  For questions about Compass Card, please visit the Ask Compass website at http://askcompass.ca/.  You will find the results of hundreds of questions that have been asked by other customers.  If the information you are looking for is not there, you can ask your own.  Please provide a valid email address when prompted to receive TransLink’s response to your questions.

    for those considering a switch to bike commuting we could: pay for one bike service per year; pay for one set of tires per year; allow 20 mins shower time per day?

    Hi Eiselle,

    Will VCHA subsidize any portion of the monthly pass? For example, City Hall allows staff to submit proof of purchase of a monthly pass to payroll within 30 days and payroll will reimburse $25 to employee’s pay cheque every month. Does VCHA offer any such subsidize to monthly passes?

      Hi, there’s information on the Compass program here: http://askcompass.ca/ as well as on the TransLink website where it says that Compass cards will be available to the general public in summer 2014. Hope this helps.
