The Class Pass is a free card that gives current students, faculty, and staff at The Claremont Colleges and The Claremont Colleges Services (TCCS) unlimited rides on Foothill Transit buses. It also helps the entire community by reducing traffic and parking congestion around campus. Not bad for a piece of plastic.

The Class Pass is accepted on all Foothill Transit local and Silver Streak buses, which connect to 22 different cities throughout the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys, plus downtown Los Angeles. Your Class Pass does not include the Commuter Express Lines 490, 493, 495, 498, 499 and 699.

Your class pass is loaded onto a TAP card that is accepted on transit agencies across LA County. If you want to transfer to another agency, you can load cash value onto your card. Find out how on our TAP page.

1. Plan your trip with Google Maps or call 1-800-RIDE-INFO (743-3463). You can find your bus in real-time on our website, with apps, or by text.
2. Go to your bus stop — it’ll be marked with a Foothill Transit sign in white, blue, and green.
3. Make sure you board the right bus — when a bus pulls up to the stop, look at its line number and destination on the sign above the windshield.
4. Pay your fare — just touch your Class Pass to the “TAP” symbol right on the farebox and listen for the beep.
5. Move as far to the back as you can, and find a seat or hold onto the handrail — please leave seats at the front open for elderly and disabled passengers.
6. Request a stop — when the bus approaches your stop, pull the cord or press the tape running along the windows, then exit through the doors in the back!

Still have questions? Check out our Bus Basics, call us at 800-RIDE-INFO (743-3463), or visit our full website at foothilltransit.org anytime!

The Class Pass is valid for the full school year as long as you are enrolled in one credit course at any of The Claremont Colleges. If you're enrolled in the next school year, your Class Pass will automatically reload — but you'll need to use it at least once within the first two weeks of school to keep it active. If you have any issues with your pass, visit the Connection.
