What Is TrailPass?
It is a new, streamlined way to purchase commuter and multi-ride passes directly through your Driven Rewards account or the Trailways mobile app. Instead of relying solely on printed ticket books, this pass lets you buy bulk rides digitally and manage everything in one place. It’s designed to make your travel experience smoother – from purchasing your pass to booking trips – so you feel organized, prepared, and confident every time you ride.
How We Improved Commuter and Multi-Pass Purchases
Our riders have always valued affordability and reliability, especially on busy commuter routes. Commuter and multi-pass options helped a lot, but the old method had limits.
The Original Method
Printed ticket books had to be purchased in person, which wasn’t ideal for riders departing from locations without a ticket counter. Once you had your booklet, you could board any trip, but we had no way to anticipate which departures would fill up. That meant riders could still end up waiting for the next bus. And if a booklet was lost, it was gone for good—they functioned like cash.
What we needed to solve:
As more riders began managing their travel online, it became clear that commuter and multi-ride passes needed to live inside our digital customer accounts. That meant creating a way to:
- Offer fixed pricing for a set number of trips within a defined time period
- Let riders reserve a specific departure in advance
- Allow customers to cancel or change an upcoming trip directly from their account
In short, we needed a system that preserved the value of traditional passes while giving riders the flexibility and control they expect from modern online booking.
The Solution
We brought commuter and multi-pass options into our digital platform under the name TrailPass. Riders can now purchase passes online, apply them to the trips they choose, and secure their seat ahead of time—all from their phone or computer. This approach is especially helpful for commuters with changing schedules or anyone who wants a more streamlined way to manage frequent travel.
Important note: Traditional passbooks are still available for those who prefer them. The new digital option simply adds more convenience, flexibility, and peace of mind for riders who want everything in one place.
Key Benefits of TrailPass
It makes commuting feel more predictable and less stressful by giving riders a simpler, more flexible way to plan, book, and board. It also introduces flat, upfront pricing—because you’re purchasing rides in bulk; dynamic pricing is turned off, so you always know exactly what you’ll pay.
Guaranteed Seating
Book your ride in advance and travel with confidence, even on high-demand routes.
Flat, predictable pricing
It offers fixed rates for a set number of trips within your pass window. As a bulk buyer, you’re shielded from dynamic pricing changes.
Flexible scheduling
Choose a pass duration and frequency that fits your routine.
- With commuter passes, you’re purchasing enough trips to cover a round-trip commute almost every day for the length of your pass.
- With multi-pass options, you’re buying a fixed number of rides that you can use anytime within your pass window, giving you more freedom if your travel pattern varies.
Mobile boarding with QR code
Pull up your boarding pass on your phone and scan it when it’s time to board.
Free ride adjustments before departure
Easily update your trip when plans shift.
Savings up to 30%
Ride more and spend less by choosing the pass option that matches your travel needs.
How It Works
The process is quick and straightforward. Once you set it up, your next booking takes only a few minutes.

Select your route, pass length, and number of tickets
Choose the route you use most often, then select the TrailPass option that fits your needs. You’ll choose both:
- The duration of your pass (15, 30, 60, or 90 days)
- The number of tickets included in your commuter or multi-pass
Book rides with guaranteed space
Use your pass to reserve the trips you need when you need them. You’re guaranteed a spot on the bus, but you’re not selecting a specific seat.
Access your boarding pass in the Trailways app
All your passes and boarding QR codes live directly in the app—no digital wallet required. Just open the app and scan when it’s time to board.
Important Notes to Remember
- TrailPasses are “use it or lose it.” Any unused tickets expire at the end of your pass window and can’t be carried over.
- Availability may be limited to select routes, but access will expand over time.
- All purchases must be made through your free Driven Rewards account and remain tied to your login.
- The pass is designed for repeat travel: once purchased, you can book rides anytime within the pass validity period until all included trips are used.
