What is EasyPass?  

EasyPass is an unlimited-ride bus pass that lets you ride anywhere AC Transit operates, anytime the service is running. This personalized EasyPass Clipper card will have your name, photo and the school logo on it. 

Who Gets One?

Note: This program is funded by parking citation revenue and is supported by the self-sustaining Parking Department. No student fees are used to fund EasyPass.

How Do I Get My EasyPass?  

Pick up your EasyPass starting August 18th at the Parking & Alternative Transportation Services office, Student and Faculty Support building SF-140!  EasyPass can only be picked up by the card holder.

Important: The EasyPass requires your photo. The photo used is from your Bay Card. If you do not have a Bay Card yet, you can apply here. 

When Can I Use it? 

The EasyPass is valid during the Academic Year: Fall through Summer of the next year. Keep in mind if you are a student, you need to be currently enrolled. If you are not enrolled, your card will be deactivated. 

The first day to use it this year is Tuesday, August 19, 2025

EasyPass Guidelines 

Make the most of your EasyPass — and avoid any surprises on board: 

• Tap your EasyPass every time you board an AC Transit bus. 

• Your EasyPass is non-transferable — only you can use it. 

• Friends or guests must pay their own fare using a separate Clipper card or payment. 

• For travel beyond AC Transit (like BART, ferry, etc.), use a separate Clipper card loaded with funds. 

• Register your EasyPass online ASAP on clippercard.com — it makes replacement much easier if your card is ever lost or stolen. 

• See the FAQ for additional helpful information.

• Misuse of your EasyPass may result in fines or suspension of privileges. Keep it safe. Keep it yours. 

Pro Tips for a Smooth Ride 

Don’t just ride — ride smart. 

•  Arrive 10–15 minutes early to your stop to ensure you catch the bus. 

• Have your EasyPass out and ready to tap as the bus approaches. 

•  Buses have a maximum capacity — if the bus is full, you’ll need to wait for the next one. 

•  Mornings and afternoons can get crowded. If you're on a tight schedule, plan to catch an earlier bus just in case the one you want is full. 

Tip: Use the to track real-time bus arrivals so you're never left guessing.
