TPass rebates postponed due to budget deadlockBy Shelley Shan / Staff ReporterThe Highway Bureau yesterday said that cash rebates for TPass users would be delayed, as funding for the program has yet to be approved by the legislature. TPass 1.0 offers a fixed-priced monthly pass in different regions of the country, while TPass 2.0 expands the coverage with broader cross-city integration and broader regional access. The highway authority said on its Web site that the TPass 2.0 frequent rider program includes incentives such as TPass ride rewards for people aged 70 or older who voluntarily give back their driver’s licenses.

The TPass commuter pass program serves about 698,000 passenger trips per month, while the TPass 2.0 frequent rider program serves about 379,000 passenger trips per month, bureau statistics showed.
