VCH recently announced the re-launch of the VCH Transit Subsidy Program to support staff who regularly commute by transit to work. Staff who enroll in the program receive a monthly transit subsidy of $11 for one zone, $12 for two zone, and $13 for three zone and West Coast Express to be paid out on the employee’s pay cheque.

The benefits

The benefits of regularly commuting by transit to work go beyond a financial subsidy. You can also add walking to your daily commute which contributes to your overall health and wellness, benefits the environment and saves on your commuting costs!
