AS Eco Pass for employees
For just $25, SJSU employees can enjoy unlimited rides on all Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) buses and Light Rail with AS Eco Pass throughout the Spring or Fall semester.
VTA buses and Light Rail operate throughout the South Bay. Express VTA bus service to SJSU is available from Fremont, Morgan Hill, San Martin and Gilroy.
AS Eco Pass is also valid for Outreach paratransit service for SJSU employees with disabilities who are unable to take bus or Light Rail.
AS Eco Pass is not valid on regional transit such as ACE, BART, Caltrain and Highway 17 Express. SJSU employees can buy regional transit tickets and passes with pre-tax dollars by participating in the Commuter Check program.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the sticker good for?
About 7 months. The validation period is printed on the sticker itself. There's no grace period.
When will the sticker for the next semester be available for purchase?
Two weeks before the start of every semester.
Can I buy the sticker at a pro-rated price?
No. However, $25 is still a great deal whenever you buy the sticker. The price is equivalent to a week's worth of VTA day passes.
I am also a student at SJSU also, can I get an AS Eco Pass free as a student?
Please visit the TS Center in the Student Union and the front counter staff will determine your specific eligibility.
