A Sliding Scale Affordable Bus Pass pilot program began April 1, 2022. Council has reviewed the usage of the program and voted to extend the program permanently. If you’re currently approved in the program, you do not need to do anything to continue to pay your current rate.
The Affordable Bus Pass program now has three-tiers which applicants qualify for based on their level of income under Low Income Cut Off (LICO). The monthly fees based on tiers are:
- Tier A: $4
- Tier B: $20
- Tier C: Adults $37.50, Youth $32, Seniors $31
Eligibility for each tier is based on the following LICO chart:
