OC Transpo
|
An inexpensive Community Pass is available to Ottawa residents who receive benefits under the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP). Registered Para Transpo customers are also entitled to purchase a Community pass whether or not they receive ODSP Benefits. There will no longer be free fares for customers who use a mobility aid such as a wheelchair, scooter or walker. |

About the Community Pass
The discounted Community Pass
looks the same as an OC Transpo Express pass, but costs only
$29.00 a month. That’s $61.00 less than the usual cost of an Express pass.
With the Community Pass you can ride regular and express routes and the O-Train for the month shown on the
pass.

Application Process
Things
to remember
Put your photo ID card in the top portion of your plastic holder, and your monthly pass in the bottom. On the bottom of your pass, write your name and address so that we can return your pass if you lose it. Passes are not valid after the last day of the month, so be sure to get your new pass before the next month begins. You can only buy one Community Pass each month. Passes are not refundable, nor transferable to another person.
