Student Transit Pass

UCSF students passed a referendum in spring 2023 to assess a Student Transit Pass fee effective fall 2023. The annual fee for 2026-27 is $272.00, to be collected as $91 in fall 2026, $91 in winter 2027, and $90 in spring 2027. The referendum approved a Muni Class pass, but UCSF will continue to participate in the Clipper BayPass program sponsored by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission through December 31, 2026. The Clipper BayPass provides unlimited rides on all 24 Bay Area transit agencies that accept the Clipper card (all except historic San Francisco cable cars, BayWheels, BikeLink, and parking).  We expect an announcement about the future of access to the Clipper BayPass in fall 2026; regardless of the outcome, the Student Transit Pass fee will remain the same.  For fees paid in 2026-27, the Clipper BayPass will provide access to transit beginning July 1, 2026. To receive the Clipper BayPass, students must enroll a Clipper card serial number with the program.

The Student Transit Pass fee is mandatory for all students except students in fully online programs (MS-HAIL).

When students graduate, take a leave of absence, withdraw during a quarter, are dismissed, or otherwise are not registered, the pass will terminate at the end of the last quarter in which they paid the fee. The Student Transit Pass fee is not refundable.

Additional details about the program are available from the Transportation Office.
