The Class Pass Program

This popular program allows teachers within Santa Clara County the opportunity to take their students on field trips traveling by VTA buses and light rail for free. Each teacher is eligible to receive up to two “class passes” every school year. This allows students, teachers and chaperones to ride VTA buses and light rail to museums, cultural events, libraries, and other popular destinations for free.

Complete and submit a "Free Class Pass Field Trip Application" to our office at least three weeks prior to the scheduled trip for consideration and processing. VTA's Youth Outreach Coordinator will be happy to fax or mail you the Class Pass Application.

Once you mail, e-mail or fax your completed Class Pass Application to us a confirmation postcard will be mailed to you. Your Class Pass and trip itinerary will be sent to you two weeks prior to your scheduled trip.

VTA transported 49,216 teachers and students on "class pass" trips during the 2007-2008 school year through the Class Pass Program.
