Get Exclusive Discounts with XPass

Posted to What's Happening at PART Blog by Brooke Kochanski

2018-0625_PART_0318_FinalBetween tight deadlines, long hours and heavy workloads, we know there are a lot of stressors in the average worker’s daily life. At PART, we don’t think commuting to and from the office should be one of them. 


We want to help employees across the Triad start and end their day on a positive note by ensuring the trip between home and work is as relaxed and stress-free as possible. And we want to give employers the resources they need to help make that a possibility for their hardworking employees. So, we created our XPass Employer Discount Program to help achieve both of these goals. 


PART’s XPass Program is an initiative that provides exclusive commuter discounts to employees working at businesses across the Triad who are members of our PARTnership program – a free resource that helps businesses develop a customized transportation program for their employees. These custom programs are designed to address specific commuting challenges employees may be facing when trying to get to and from work, such as a major road closure or construction, lack of parking, or traffic getting to the office. 


In addition to custom commuting options, the XPass Program allows registered employees and participating employers to receive a 30% discount on the cost of PART bus passes. The program is available Triad-wide and provides access to more than 15 PART Express bus routes across the area. Riders have the option to use PART’s TouchPass Mobile App or our Smartcard Ticketing System, making the boarding and riding process quick and easy. 


Signing up for XPass is simple: any employer located within PART’s 10-County service area may complete the online registration form on behalf of the company at no cost. Once we receive your company's registration, you will be contacted by a PART representative to finalize your organization’s enrollment. It’s that easy! We’ll even give you all the materials and information you need to help get your employees “on board”, including on-site events and activities as well as meeting times where we will speak with individuals one-on-one about the program and its benefits. Why not join the over 20 companies already participating in the XPass program?


We are dedicated to providing a reliable, relaxing and low-cost daily commute for everyone across the Triad, and every little bit of support counts. So, whether your employees ride PART Express every day or just once a week, XPass allows them to save money while providing a less-stressful commute. And if you need even more convincing, check out this list of 10 reasons [link] to give commuting with PART a try! 


Everyday life comes with enough challenges. Why not make getting to and from work one less thing they have to worry about? Visit www.partnc.org/XPass or call 336-883-7278 to learn more about becoming a PART of the solution towards a better commute!
