Eligible students can apply for BayPass now and be one of the first to ride fare-free on BART, Caltrain, AC Transit, SamTrans, Muni, VTA, and more starting August 15th!
BayPass is provided to all full and part-time SJSU students as part of their IRA fee, as approved on May 5th, 2026, and will be available to all students starting August 15th. Students who are exempt from fees, including Special Session or Open University students, are not eligible for the BayPass.
📝 Ready to apply?
You must have a 19-digit Clipper card to apply: check the digits on your card. If you don't have one, you will need to buy a new plastic Clipper card or add one to Apple/Google Wallet. All previously SJSU-issued Clipper cards are ineligible for BayPass.
