City Workers Get Free Transit Pass | Portland News

The city is launching a bold new transit pilot: all employees will get free TriMet and C-Tran passes for a year, starting next fall — partly to keep staff moving during the I-5 closure and partly to lure them back to downtown offices. With ridership down since the pandemic and current discounts only covering 500 workers, this $245K program (at $55 per employee) could be a game-changer — especially as TriMet struggles financially. Will it convince commuters to ditch their cars? We’ll see. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
