UVic is the second most active transit hub in the Greater Victoria region and employees are able to purchase the discounted Employee Bus Pass.
The intent of the subsidized employee bus pass is to offer UVic continuing employees the option of using subsidized transit instead of commuting by vehicle to the Gordon Head Campus and thus having to purchase an annual parking permit. These bus passes are not transferable—they’re for use by eligible employees only. The eligible employee must agree to purchase the transit pass for their sole personal use to commute to the University of Victoria Gordon Head Campus.
In compliance with Canada Revenue Agency regulations, the UVic investment toward employee participation in the Employee Bus Pass program is considered a taxable benefit. The deduction from your paycheque will be the tax on the UVic portion. If you have any questions regarding the Employee Bus Pass or Flexi-Pass program, please call Campus Security at 250-721-6683. See the UVic Travel Choices website for extensive information on taking transit to and from campus, or visit the Campus Security office to purchase your employee bus pass.
