PLAN FOR TRANSIT FARE PREPAYMENT PROMOTED BY EMPLOYERS

This paper outlines a plan for the marketing program and the selection and solicitation of employers and their employees for participation in a transit-fare-prepayment program. Participating employers will make monthly transit passes available to their employees at their workplaces. The information in this paper was gathered from the experience of four transit systems and was applied to transit-fare-prepayment programs aimed at promoting a monthly transit pass through employers for single mode and multimode systems. The methods described in this paper yielded the most positive response, from employers and their employees, of the methods tested. The plan described can be used as an aid for assisting transit systems in initiating similar programs. (Author)
