Transportation Fee (AC Transit) Petition Form

Click here for the Transportation Fee Petition Form

AC Transit EasyPass Fee

Proposition A, which was passed in the May 2009 student elections, requires all full time Peralta students carrying nine or more units to pay an AC Transit EasyPass bus pass fee of $31, thereby making them eligible to receive an AC Transit EasyPass bus pass. This fee will be collected at the time of enrollment. With EasyPass you can ride all AC Transit bus lines, including local and Transbay service, at all times. Plus you save over 94% off the local rate and 96% off Transbay service.

Please note: This fee is non refundable unless you drop below nine (9) units on or before the last day to drop full-term credit classes and receive a refund.
