Request a SamTrans Pass

Stanford is offering free monthly SamTrans passes to SRWC employees. To be eligible for the SamTrans pass, you must be a benefits-eligible university employee working at Stanford Redwood City (SRWC).

Request Your Pass

Confirm or update your worksite

Only commuters with SRWC worksite addresses are eligible for the SamTrans pass. 

 

These worksites are: 

  • Cardinal Hall, 505 Broadway, Redwood City

  • University Hall, 485 Broadway, Redwood City

  • Discovery Hall, 455 Broadway, Redwood City

  • Academy Hall, 415 Broadway, Redwood City

Before requesting the SamTrans please confirm and, if necessary, update your worksite address to your SRWC address in StanfordYou.

Once on StanfordYou, you can select:

  • Maintain your directory and AlertSU emergency contact information

  • Update “Work address” under “Stanford affiliation”

Access the portal

Once you have an SRWC work address in StanfordYou, you will be able to access the SRWC Edrenred portal, where you can request both the SamTrans pass and pre-tax commuter transit orders.

For step-by-step instructions on ordering your pass, please refer to our How to Order the SamTrans Pass for SRWC Commuters via Edenred web page.

Please note:

Passes are  processed monthly. The deadline to order the SamTrans pass for each month is the 9th of the previous month. For example, if you would like the pass by October, please order it by Sept. 9. 

About the SamTrans Pass

The SamTrans pass is non-transferable. Please request the pass for your use only, and only if and when you intend to use it. The university is paying in full for each monthly pass requested.  Passes are intended for trips to and from SRWC. While the passes can be used at any time, without restriction, the SamTrans pass is intended to facilitate trips you take to or from SRWC. Due to tax policy implications for the university, the pass should only be requested if you plan to use it for commuting.

While SamTrans is a new transit pass available only to SRWC commuters, eligible SRWC commuters also are eligible to request a free Caltrain Go Pass, free VTA SmartPass, and pre-tax payroll deduction to purchase other transit passes and transit parking. Please refer to our SRWC Free and Discounted Transit page for more information.

If you have any questions regarding SamTrans passes please contact us at commuteclub@stanford.edu.
