Updates to Santa Cruz Metro (e.g., Highway 17 Express) and Monterey-Salinas Transit

Express bus service is no longer included as part of the VTA SmartPass. Stanford will reimburse eligible customers who submit their receipts for commute-related transit passes (e.g., Highway 17 Express) through February 2020. To learn more about how to request a reimbursement, please visit our webpage.

Please note that we are currently working on a longer-term solution and will follow-up with commuters in the new year.

 

Transit

I drive 2.2 miles, take light rail, Caltrain and the Marguerite shuttle. It gets me to work in less than an hour. It allows me to read leisurely and work on projects that need to get done. I have met many wonderful people and developed friendships that would not have been made if I was driving to work. I have even planned day trips with my new friends. And can you imagine how much gas I have saved?
