A Transit Usage Report provides information about your transit use with your PRESTO card for your records and for tax purposes. You can get your Transit Usage Report at any time of the year and it will display transit usage information up to the date you access the report.

You must have a My PRESTO Account to get a Transit Usage Report then follow these steps:

Step 1 – Sign into your account, click on Manage in the top menu and select Transit Usage Report, or click on Transit Usage Report in the quick links section.

Step 2 – Scroll down to the bottom of the page to the section for your current Transit Usage Report and click on the drop down menu to select the year you want the report for.

Step 3 – Click on the Transit Usage drop down menu to select the report you need: you can get a report that shows transit passes purchased only, transit fares paid only or both.

Step 4 – Click on View to see your report. You can download the entire report as it is, or you can export it as a CSV file and customize it.

When submitting your Transit Usage Report for tax purposes, it is your responsibility to determine which fares and passes are eligible for tax credits. To find out about transit tax credits, visit the Canada Revenue Agency website.

The Ontario Seniors’ Public Transit Tax Credit can be claimed by eligible Ontario residents 65 years of age or older for travel on public transit within Ontario from July 1, 2017 onward.

You can find out about who is eligible for the tax credit and the types of public transit trips that can be claimed here.

It is your responsibility to review your Transit Usage Report to determine which trips taken with PRESTO qualify for the Ontario Seniors’ Public Transit Tax Credit.
