ORCA Cards-Commuter Trip Reduction Program
An ORCA card reimbursement is available for Highline Community College employees who will participate in the Commuter Trip Reduction Program.
The ORCA card is a plastic smart card containing a microprocessor. ORCA cards come equipped with an "e-purse" function that allows a rider to preload fare value onto the card, or customers can purchase a pass product - such as the monthly PugetPass - and load it onto their ORCA card.
Highline Community College is committed to providing our employees with transportation in accordance with State Commute Trip Reduction Laws. We will continue to support the commuter trip reduction program by providing our employees with reimbursement of 50% of their monthly ORCA/PugetPass costs.
Steps to claim reimbursement
- Purchase your ORCA monthly PugetPass either online or through one of the retail outlets using your ORCA card
- Complete an Commuter Trip Reduction RFP and submit to Lois Eriksson at MS 99-248 with your original receipt
- Expect to receive your reimbursement within one to two weeks*
- Only one reimbursement may be submitted per month.
- Maximum reimbursement per month will be $54.00 (equivalent of a 2 zone monthly pass)
