To be a Smart Commuter in Kitsap Transit's Smart Commuter Program, you must regularly commute to work by walking, bicycling, riding a bus, carpooling, vanpooling or by riding the ferry as a foot passenger at least three days a week. You must also complete and submit a registration application. Once registered, you will receive a Smart Commuter Discount Card from Kitsap Transit. With this card, you can receive discounts on a variety of merchandise and services from more than 100 local merchants. And if your employer participates in Kitsap Transit's Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) program, you will also become eligible for a guaranteed ride home in case of an emergency. You will receive a GRH policy with your Smart Commuter Discount Card if you are eligible.

At all public park-and-ride lots, carpools exercising carpool privileges must clearly display a valid carpool permit and have at least two licensed people in the car at the time the car is parked.  There are no exceptions.  (Note: at some employer lots that are participating in Kitsap Transit's Smart Commuter program, the employer may allow their carpoolers to park in carpool spaces when they are driving alone.  This policy is NOT allowed at public park-and-ride lots.)

There are several ways to get a registration application:

• You can ask your Employee Transportation Coordinator for one.
• You can request one via e-mail at rideshare@telebyte.com.
• You can request one by calling 360-373-2877 or 1-800-501-RIDE.
• You can submit an application online by clicking here.  Please note, you will need the last four digits of each participant's social security number to complete the application.
• You can download an application in a MS Word document format by clicking here.
