6/4/2009 - Notice to State Employees currently enrolled in the Free Bus Pass Program:
Due to budget and program cuts, the state must eliminate the free bus pass program as of July 1, 2009. Cherriots will honor the '09 sticker on the front of your photo ID card through June 30, 2009.
You may purchase a bus pass from Salem Keizer Transit (Cherriots), using a pre-tax deduction from your paycheck. The cost of the bus pass is $35 a month. To enroll, complete the transit pass application form and send it to your agency's payroll unit, who will purchase the pass directly from Cherriots. Your payroll unit will then distribute the pass to you monthly. The enrollment process can take up to six weeks. View Transit Pass application (pdf).
You can buy a monthly bus pass from Cherriots at one of the following locations:
-Cherriots Downtown Information Office, 220 High St NE
-Roth's Family Markets: Keizer, Lancaster, Sunnyslope, Vista, West Salem
-Chemeketa Community College Bookstore
