Clipper is the all-in-one transit card making it easy to ride transit in the Bay Area

Your Clipper card can hold transit passes and tickets, cash value, or any combination. Fares loaded as cash can be used on any participating transit system. You can even use your Clipper card to pay for parking at transit stations, for bike parking, and as an access key to bike share.

Clipper card is pre-loaded. Stanford Medicine provides eligible employees with a Clipper card that is pre-loaded with a Caltrain Go Pass, VTA SmartPass, and AC Transit EasyPass* for unlimited Bay Area travel.
