• After BFT has received your application, you will receive an email confirming its receipt and
  informing you of your organization’s eligibility.
• You can apply monthly for monthly passes or 10-ride tickets.
• If you receive passes or tickets valued at less than $750 for a month and learn that you will need
  additional passes or tickets the following month (still totaling less than the $750 threshold),
  please send an email to customerservice@bft.org to request additional passes or tickets.

• You can apply for a minimal number of passes or tickets. Please request only the passes or
  tickets your organization would use each quarter.
• There are no refunds or exchanges. If you cannot utilize the passes or tickets that you have been
  provided, please give them to another eligible nonprofit organization or government agency that
  can use them.
• If your organization is approved for passes or tickets, you can pick them up at the Customer
  Service Center at BFT’s Three Rivers Transit Center at 7109 W. Okanogan Place in Kennewick
  Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• No monthly reporting is required on the use of the passes or tickets your organization has been
  provided. However, you may be asked by BFT to provide periodic reports or updates on how the
  tickets were used.
