| What is the Eco Pass?
The Eco Pass is purchased by employers for full-time employees, with an option to include part-time employees. The Eco Pass is valid every day of the year.
Eco Pass holders are 5-9 times more likely to ride transit than non-Eco Pass holders.

Eco Pass Discounts
Boulder East and GO Boulder offer up to 50% reimbursement of a company’s first year Eco Pass contract and 25% reimbursement of a second year contract. For businesses with 10 employees or fewer, reimbursement of $60 per employee will be provided for year one and $30 per employee for year two. If the Eco Pass contract is over $10,000, the reimbursement will be for three years of 25%.
The reimbursements are given between January and March of each year or as budget allows. To receive these reimbursements, an employee on staff is required to become a participant of the Employee Transportation Coordinator network. In addition, your company could be required to distribute a before/after transportation survey to employees including some type of Eco Pass promotion.

This Eco Pass reimbursement program is budget dependent and subject to change based on fiscal constraints. Receipt of a year one rebate does not guarantee that a year two rebate will be available should budget conditions deteriorate.

If your business is located outside of the city of Boulder, Boulder County is also currently offering a multi-year Eco Pass discount (60% off of the first year's contract price, 30% off of the second year's contract price) to all businesses and neighborhoods signing up for their initial Eco Pass contract.
