To redeem SNTMA subsidies, on the left side of your profile dashboard, select “Rewards” then “Featured” and scroll to the subsidy program that you participate in. You will need ten round trips or twenty one-way trips of the alternative commute mode that you use to redeem the subsidy, for the redeem button to appear in your dashboard.

PayPal payments are typically made mid-month, and you will receive a notification from PayPal once the payment has been made. PayPal accounts accommodate up to 8 email addresses.
