Apply for Senior Annual Pass
|
There are two alternative methods to purchase your annual pass:
Senior fare riders in Edmonton who pay regular fare no longer need to apply to ETS to receive a seniors’ regular annual transit pass. Instead, they will receive an annual fare cap of $385 which is the same price as the annual pass. Once they reach this amount they can ride ETS for the rest of the year for free. Seniors who participate in the subsidized ETS senior annual pass program (free and $139, dependent on income level) will still be required to apply for the program.
Regular seniors annual fare cap and the subsidized seniors pre-loaded Arc cards are only valid on ETS. Riders can travel on regional transit by paying the applicable regional fare.
Any senior who purchased an annual subsidized pass the previous year will receive a renewal form in November by mail reminding them to renew their annual pass. This renewal form can be returned to ETS in the postage-paid envelope provided or in person at the Edmonton Service Centre. The new annual pass will be reloaded onto the Arc card once all documents and payments are received.
If a renewal letter is not received, the Seniors Annual Pass can still be renewed by emailing etsseniorspass@edmonton.ca or in person at the Edmonton Service Centre with the following information:
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.
Please email etsseniorspass@edmonton.ca.
If your card has been lost or stolen, please call 311 or by visiting an in-person service centre to have the card blocked and to request a replacement.
You can change or update your information by emailing etsseniorspass@edmonton.ca.
