A brief description of the program:

Transportation & Parking Services offers special discounted passes for students (FlexPass) and faculty/staff (Passport) thanks to a shared subsidy between Trimet and PSU.

FlexPass:
PSU offers the Student FlexPass, a discounted All Zone TriMet Transit Pass valid on all TriMet buses, MAX, and Portland Streetcar for the current term. The FlexPass is available to all students registered for at least 3 credit hours during the current term. The per-term cost for the FlexPass is approximately 35% off TriMet's retail price!

Passport:
Faculty and staff members may purchase a TriMet Passport (annual TriMet transit pass) at a significant savings and request the fee be deducted directly from their monthly pay. The Passport program consists of an all zone TriMet transit pass sticker.
