Making Work Easier: Free Muni Passes Help Providers Serve Posted on December 19, 2024

The public authority provides essential services to consumers across all districts in San Francisco. Over the past year, our recruitment team has been helping eligible registry program providers receive a free monthly Muni Pass to support their work in the community.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Be an active or fully employed registry program provider
• Have one or more active clients
• Use public transportation to travel to consumer/client locations
• Have submitted worked hours for at least one pay period in the past two months
• Recently updated work availability with the provider registry program
• Not qualify for or currently receive a free Muni pass directly from SFMTA

Providing a free Muni Pass to eligible providers helps expand their ability to work with multiple providers, increasing their capacity to serve more members of the community. Many of the services providers offer—such as grocery runs, picking up medications, or collecting items from stores—require significant travel. In the past, providers often relied on rideshare services like Lyft or Uber, which can quickly become expensive and add stress to their already demanding jobs.

Provider Analisa Marie Del Prite shares, “The Muni Pass has opened many possibilities. Before, I’d either use my car or take a Lyft to get to my client and carry out her needs. Finding parking was always a challenge, and the cost of Lyft rides added up fast. The Muni Pass has made a huge difference, and I’m so grateful for it.”
 

The Muni Pass is just one way we’re working to reduce the barriers our providers face and ensure they have the tools they need to succeed in their important roles. We’re excited to see how this program continues to grow and support both providers and consumers in San Francisco.
