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.
