Alternative Parking & Transportation

SJSU supports many alternative Transportation programs for students and employees funded through parking fines and forfeitures administered by the University Police Department Parking Services.

The Transit Access Program is funded through student semester fees with additional support from Alternative Transportation funds provided by Parking Services.

Alternative Transportation also underwrites the last two weeknight runs of the Highway 17 Express bus during regular semester school days.

The student enrollment transit picture pass permit allows use of any Valley Transit Authority bus or light rail (except BART express flyers). Flash passes are available at the Student Union Event Center Box Office.

For more information, visit the SJSU Associated Students Office of Transportation Solutions.
