EasyPass: Your Passport to the Bay Area 

 

 

Unlimited AC Transit rides. Zero stress. 100% college win. 

Cal State East Bay students, meet your new favorite travel companion: the AC Transit EasyPass. Whether you're heading to campus, BART, downtown Oakland, or across the Bay, your EasyPass has you covered — and it's free for students! 

 

What is EasyPass?  

EasyPass is an unlimited-ride bus pass that lets you ride anywhere AC Transit operates, anytime the service is running. This personalized EasyPass Clipper card will have your name, photo and the school logo on it. 

 

Who Gets One? 

All currently enrolled CSUEB students with a valid Bay Card 
A limited number of faculty and staff with a Bay Card may also opt into the program for a subsidized annual fee of $85.56. (More information on the opt-in process and payment portal coming soon.)

Note: This program is funded by parking citation revenue and is supported by the self-sustaining Parking Department. No student fees are used to fund EasyPass.

 

How Do I Get My EasyPass?  

Pick up your EasyPass starting August 18th at the Parking & Alternative Transportation Services office, Student and Faculty Support building SF-140! 

Important: The EasyPass requires your photo. The photo used is from your Bay Card. If you do not have a Bay Card yet, you can apply here. 

 

When Can I Use it? 

The EasyPass is valid during the Academic Year: Fall through Summer of the next year. Keep in mind if you are a student, you need to be currently enrolled. If you are not enrolled, your card will be deactivated. 

The first day to use it this year is Tuesday, August 19, 2025 

 

Where Can I Go? 

Anywhere AC Transit goes — anytime. Seriously. 

  • Important: EasyPass is for AC Transit Only. Fares are required for BART and other transit agencies.

EasyPass Guidelines 

Make the most of your EasyPass — and avoid any surprises on board: 

  • Tap your EasyPass every time you board an AC Transit bus. 
  • Your EasyPass is non-transferable — only you can use it. 
  • Friends or guests must pay their own fare using a separate Clipper card or payment. 
  • For travel beyond AC Transit (like BART, ferry, etc.), use a separate Clipper card loaded with funds. 
  • Register your EasyPass online ASAP on clippercard.com — it makes replacement much easier if your card is ever lost or stolen. 
  • See the FAQ for additional helpful information.
  • Misuse of your EasyPass may result in fines or suspension of privileges. Keep it safe. Keep it yours. 

 

Pro Tips for a Smooth Ride 

Don’t just ride — ride smart. 

  •  Arrive 10–15 minutes early to your stop to ensure you catch the bus. 
  • Have your EasyPass out and ready to tap as the bus approaches. 
  •  Buses have a maximum capacity — if the bus is full, you’ll need to wait for the next one. 
  •  Mornings and afternoons can get crowded. If you're on a tight schedule, plan to catch an earlier bus just in case the one you want is full. 

Tip: Use the AC Transit App to track real-time bus arrivals so you're never left guessing.
