Caltrain Go Pass

Have you used the FREE Caltrain Go Pass on your Clipper Card yet? What are you waiting for?

You can use the Caltrain Go Pass for the full calendar year seven days a week - and Stanford Medicine will automatically renew your membership for you for as long as you’re eligible! Make sure to keep your employer-issued ID badge with you whenever you use your Caltrain Go Pass.

Caltrain Go Pass can be used any time, any day - even on your day off! Caltrain Go Pass users must be prepared to show their employer-issued ID to train conductors along with their Clipper card. Failure to do so may result in citation.
