Get A Job, Get A Ride!
The Get A Job, Get A Ride! Program helps new employees save on their transportation costs. Participants hired within the past 30 days who are permanent, full time employees, that meet the eligibility requirements, can receive a complimentary 31 Day Pass ($66.00 value) to ride SMART's Fixed Route service.
The first step to get started is for the employer to create a MySMART account. While logged into MySMART, you need to register the company into the Get A Job, Get a Ride program!

There are two ways to manage this program; either internally administered by the employer or paying a third-party vendor. Businesses should determine the best way to manage their program. SMART does not administer this program.
