Starting March 1, employees of Belmont Shore businesses will be able to cut their gas costs and save money by riding for free to and from work on the Long Beach Transit (LBT) system.

The Shore Pass, slated to begin March 1, has hopes to not only free up parking in the already-crowded shopping and residential district, but also provide an easy, cost-efficient alternative for employees.

Businesses can either submit a list of their of their employees’ names or have Belmont Shore business employees call LBT in order to access their pass.

For business owners, email alexandra@belmontshore.org at the Belmont Shore Business Association. For employees, call 562-434-3066 to request a Shore Pass.
