Alameda CTC manages the Student Transit Pass Program, to support the traveling needs of students and promote efficient, cost-effective transit options.

The program started as a pilot in 2016 and has evolved into a full-fledged mobility program. In 2024, the Student Transit Pass program achieved a major milestone: every eligible school in Alameda County is now enrolled! This expansion ensures that students have access to free transportation up through high school graduation, making it easier than ever for students to travel to school, jobs, and extra-curricular activities.
