Community Transit Now Helps Small Business Travel Sustainability

See if your business qualifies for a Small Business Partnership

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

We can help your employees connect with regional travel options and use transit benefits like yearly unlimited-ride ORCA cards. We’ll get you started at no cost 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.

How small business owners benefit from a Small Business Partnership

  • Education and resources using regional travel options. 
  • Guidance and support in providing transit benefits.
  • Recognition as a sustainability-forward business. 

How small business employees benefit from a Small Business Partnership 

  • Saving money on gas and vehicle maintenance. 
  • Less time spent stuck in traffic and looking for parking. 
  • Fewer barriers to using regional travel options.
A person holds an ORCA card up to a yellow fare reader labeled “Tap ORCA card here,” preparing to tap the card for transit payment.

Tap, "boop" and go! Use your ORCA card to pay your fare quickly and be on your way.

Your business may qualify if it:

  • Has between five and 49 employees. 
  • Is located in our Public Transportation Benefit Area.  
  • Collaborates with Community Transit for continued engagement.
