Caltrain Student Discount

Caltrain Student Discount

Caltrain offers discounted travel for eligible students through the Go Pass program. Instead of individual students purchasing discounted tickets directly, Go Pass provides unlimited Caltrain rides to students whose school, college, or university participates in the program. Participating educational institutions purchase Go Passes for their students, allowing unlimited travel between all Caltrain zones during the pass's validity period. Availability depends on whether the student's institution has enrolled in the Go Pass program.

How to Get the Discount & Verification Process

To access the Caltrain student benefit, first confirm that your school participates in the Caltrain Go Pass program. If eligible, your school will issue instructions for obtaining and activating your pass. Students must verify their enrollment through their participating educational institution, which typically confirms eligibility using official enrollment records or a valid student ID before issuing the pass. Once activated, the Go Pass can be used for unlimited rides on eligible Caltrain services throughout the pass period.
