Apply for Senior Annual Pass

There are two alternative methods to purchase your annual pass:
Any senior who purchased an annual pass the previous year will receive a renewal form in October by mail reminding them to renew their annual pass. This renewal form, along with a cheque or money order made payable to the City of Edmonton, can be returned to ETS in the postage-paid envelope provided. The new annual pass will be mailed once all the documents are received.
If a renewal letter is not received, the Seniors Annual Pass can still be renewed by mail with the following information:
Mail your payment and information to:
Senior Annual Pass Program
2nd Floor, Edmonton Tower
10111 104 Avenue

Passes are available starting February 1, 2023 but you can get your pass throughout the year until December. For the Seniors Annual Pass, there is no prorated cost. It will remain the same cost, no matter what point in the year you purchase the pass.
The Edmonton Service Centre is on the second floor of Edmonton Tower and is accessible by elevator and an escalator. Refer to the new applicants section for instructions on how to apply by email or phone.
Prorated fares do not apply to any ETS product. The Senior Annual pass always takes effect on April 1 and is valid until March 31 the following year. If you buy your pass a month or months after April, you do not get a discount.
Please email etsseniorspass@edmonton.ca.
Please contact ETS Lost and Found at 780-496-1622 or fill out the ETS Lost and Found form. If your pass is not found and returned to ETS, a new pass can be purchased by calling 780-423-7433 (Monday-Friday; 8am-4:30pm).
You will be required to pay the full, original price of the pass. Passes are not prorated. If your pass is stolen, a police report will be required to obtain a replacement pass.
