There is no cost to the employer unless the passes are subsidized. Each participating organization assigns a Metropass administrator to manage the program through an online administrator site. The administrator promotes the program, distributes passes, and submits monthly billing reports. It typically takes less than an hour per month to administer a Metropass program.
