San Francisco State Clipper BayPass Pilot Program
In partnership with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission
This page provides information for those SFSU students that were selected to receive the Clipper BayPass. Those selected would have received an email notification from OneCard@sfsu.edu on Wednesday August 17, 2022.
The Clipper BayPass will be automatically loaded on to the selected students Gator Pass account. It can take up to one to two weeks for the BayPass to be loaded after your OneCard Gator Pass is printed.
