Community Transit Now Helps Small Business Travel Sustainably

See if your business qualifies for a Small Business Partnership

Community Transit’s Small Business Partnerships Program works with local businesses with 5 to 49 employees in our service area at no cost to provide education and resources using sustainable travel options.

We can help you offer employees free, unlimited-ride ORCA cards and guidance connecting with regional travel options. We'll get you started with transit benefits and support you at every step of the way.

Whether your team members are regulars or new riders, we want to make sure they have the scoop on all things transit from “Where can I use my ORCA card?” to “What’s a Zip Shuttle?”

Employees who participate can even cash in on monthly reward opportunities and ongoing support with travel training opportunities.

Partner with us to help your team get around the Puget Sound in a way that’s better for their wallets and the environment.
