All Hacienda employees and residents may ride the entire Wheels system for free by obtaining a Hacienda ECO Pass. As of July 1, 2014, an updated ECO Pass will be required for Hacienda employees and residents to board Wheels buses free of charge. Beginning June 16th, Hacienda will be distributing new ECO Pass stickers to current pass holders with active Hacienda employee or resident accounts. On receipt, simply cover the old sticker with the new sticker to maintain pass validity for the coming 2014/2015 service year through June 2015. If you are not currently a pass holder and would like to take advantage of this outstanding commute benefit, simply follow the ordering directions below.

Hacienda Account Verification

In order to receive a renewal sticker, you must have a valid Hacienda employee or resident account. It is very important that all current pass holders check their online user account to make sure that they are currently being shown as either an active employee or resident and that their contact information is correct. To verify your account status, simply go to www.hacienda.org and log into your Hacienda account. Once logged in, check the Member Home page to review your validated account type or types under the heading User Profile. If the listing under User Profile does not show you as holding either a current employee or resident account, you will need to upgrade your account by following the directions below. Please note that the establishment of an employee or resident account requires a separate step from the creation of a general user account. If you have not already activated this part of your account, you should do so immediately to ensure delivery of your updated sticker. Details on setting up employee or resident accounts are found below.

Receiving Renewal Stickers

You can easily check if you are currently on the list to receive a new 2014/2015 Hacienda ECO Pass sticker by reviewing your order history on your online account. After going to the Member Home page, select View Requests from the menu to the left. If the listing of your Hacienda orders shows Special Offers - Wheels ECO Pass your renewal sticker will be issued automatically. If you have an active Employee or Resident account, but no Special Offer - Wheels ECO Pass request is showing in the View Requests listing, you must follow the steps below for Obtaining your Pass for the First Time, to request a new ECO Pass.
