Public Transit

To promote and encourage transit ridership PCC has cost saving programs in-place for both students and faculty staff. Tri Met tickets and passes are also available for purchase at all campus bookstores

Students: Spring Term 2013

Please Note: Student Select Pass is Not Available for Summer Term

Any student, enrolled for three or more credit hours, may purchase a “Student Select Pass”. This is an all-zone pass is good for travel on Tri-Met from the date of purchase until the end of June, 2013. For Spring Term, 2013 PCC will sell a limited number of these passes for $190 on a first come, first serve basis.  Passes may be charged on a student's account with the college provided the student is receiving financial aid and the account is in good standing. College photo ID card required when purchasing the “Select” pass. Spring term passes will go on sale beginning at 10am on Tuesday, March 19th, 2013 at all campus Business Offices.

Faculty & Staff

PCC allows any faculty or staff member, including casual employees, to purchase a monthly Tri-Met bus pass on a pre-tax basis. For the average employee this would reduce the cost of the pass by approximately 22%. Individual savings will depend on an employee's income tax bracket. Employee's wishing to participate in this program, or cancel out of the program, must complete a pre-tax payroll deduction application and submit the completed form to Payroll Department. Applications, or cancellations, may be made at any time but must be received by Payroll prior to the 15th of each month to become effective by the following month.

Note: Neither PCC nor Tri-Met will be responsible for any lost or stolen passes and passes will not be replaced.
