Senior annual passes are valid from April 1, 2021 until March 31, 2022. Passes need to be mailed because the Edmonton Service Centre remains closed due to COVID-19. Passes will be available starting February 1, and will be mailed in March (or later, if you apply later in 2021).
There are three different categories for senior annual passes, based on your individual income.
- Regular annual pass (income above $33,034).
Pass is $385.
- Low income annual pass (Tier 2) (income between $29,071 and $33,033).
Pass is $139.
- Low income annual pass (Tier 1) (income below $29,070).
Pass is free.
Starting February 1, first time applicants must fill out and submit this application form, along with proof of residency, proof of age, current mailing address, and proof of income (if you are applying for either of the low income annual passes). Proof of income documents are listed below.
