How would you like to hop on a bike to get to your next business meeting?
TransLink is testing out a pilot program to provide businesses with travel cards that staff can use with four transit providers in Metro Vancouver.
The Shared Mobility Pilot Program will select Vancouver-based employers to provide their staff with co-branded Compass Cards for use on trips with TransLink (Bus, SkyTrain, and SeaBus,) Modo and Evo car sharing services, and Mobi by Shaw Go bike sharing service.
About 200 employees from 14 organizations will take part in the pilot and will be able to view expenses for each mode of transport at the end of the month in an expense report.
The Shared Mobility Compass Card is for employees to use on work-related travel and will not yet be open to the public.
TransLink’s partnership with Modo, Evo, and Mobi by Shaw Go was formed as part of the inaugural Open Call for Innovation on Seamless Mobility.
The pilot program runs until the end of May 2020.
