Employee Transit Pass Terms and Conditions

PROGRAM OVERVIEW and COSTS:

The PSU Employee Transit Pass is an Adult TriMet fare valid for the period of time listed below. The Employee Transit Pass is only available to current PSU employees.

The fare instrument is a PSU/TriMet Hop Card issued and activated by PSU Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS). The Employee Transit Pass is $50.00 per month and payroll deductible. Passes purchased after the 10th of the month will require a partial monthly fee payment. For example, a pass purchased on the 11th of the month will cost $32 for the remaining of the same month, and payroll deductions will start on the 1st of the following month.  

Payroll deductions will continue until an employee opts out of the Employee Transit Pass program. 9-month employees who receive 10 paychecks per year (September – June) will not have an active transit pass for July and August but will have the option to purchase a pass for these months from TAPS at a cost of $50 per month.

In order to receive a PSU Employee Transit Pass, you must agree to the terms and conditions below.

1. The Employee Transit Pass for my use only, as an employee of PSU. It cannot be sold to or used by anyone else or duplicated under any circumstances. If someone other than myself is found using this card on TriMet, that person may be subject to a fine and I may be excluded from future participation in the program.

2. I am required to tap my PSU Employee Hop card for each vehicle boarding and upon occupying any area requiring proof of fare payment. Failure to do so may result in a citation. If requested, I will present photo identification.

3. I will report my lost or stolen PSU Student Hop card to PSU Transportation & Parking Services. Replacement cards may be requested at a cost of $3.

4. I accept and agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy located at myhopcard.com.

5. Separating employees with an Employee Transit Pass must notify Transportation & Parking Services of their separation date at which time the Transit Pass will be deactivated. Failure to do so will result in the remaining value of the pass being billed to the employee’s university account and will be subject to fees and collection efforts.

REFUNDS and REPLACEMENTS: Employees may request their Transit Pass be deactivated and have their future payroll deductions stopped (current month deduction can only be stopped if the Transit Pass is returned/deactivated before the 10th day of the month). If paid in full, a refund will be equal to the pro-rated price on the day that the pass is returned/deactivated. Transit Pass deactivations and refunds cannot be back-dated. If the Transit Pass Hop Card is lost or stolen, a replacement may be purchased at a fee of $3.

EMPLOYMENT SEPARATION:

Separating employees with an Employee Transit Pass must notify Transportation & Parking Services of their separation date at which time the Transit Pass will be deactivated. Failure to do so will result in the remaining value of the pass being billed to the employee’s university account and will be subject to fees and collection efforts.
