Cost

ProPASS is a monthly cost that is spread evenly over 24 pay periods for the year, bi-weekly. On a month with three pay days, the deductions will only occur on the first two pay days of the month. If an employee exits early, they may have the full month cost deducted on one pay cheque.  

Employees can have up to two additional passes for adult family members who live with them.

ProPASS cost details are found at BC Transit Kamloops.
