Approval & Purchasing

Successful applicants will receive a letter from the municipality informing them that they are to be part of the Affordable Access Transit Pass Program. Only successful applicants will be contacted. 

For each month of the program, participants need only bring a photo ID to either the Bayers Road Customer Service Centre or Alderney Gate Customer Service Centre to purchase their monthly pass in-person. 

There is no obligation to purchase a monthly pass. However, those who do not purchase a pass for six consecutive months will be considered inactive and removed from the program.
