Employee Commuter Benefits

You can add a free digital Clipper card to your phone’s digital wallet (Apple Wallet or Google Wallet) or through the Clipper app. If you’d prefer a physical card, you can order one online through Get a Clipper card or pick one up at participating retailers like Walgreens. Questions? Contact us at commute@smcgov.org.

Bike lockers are a great way to keep your bike or scooter safe and dry while you’re at work. They’re free, and one can be yours for as long as you work for the County.

To request a bike locker please reach us at commute@smcgov.org or (650) 363-1933.

Vehicles used for carpooling and vanpooling get better parking spots! To apply for a priority carpool/vanpool spot, have all drivers fill out this form. Once all drivers have completed the form, let us know by contacting us at commute@smcgov.org or (650) 363-1933.

To be eligible, carpools and vanpools must consist of at least two County employees. 

The Emergency Ride Home program assists County employees in getting home during or at the end of the workday when an emergency arises, if they didn’t drive alone to work, by reimbursing Taxi/Lyft/Uber expenses. Please see the Emergency Ride Home Program (PDF) details to learn more.

Eligible reimbursements might include:

• Sudden illness of self or immediate family members or carpool partner.
• Personal or family emergency.
• Dependent care or daycare emergency.
• Supervisor-approved, unscheduled overtime.
• Carpool/vanpool emergency resulting in loss of ride home.
• Bicycle theft or breakdown.

Employees that park at transit stations can pay for parking passes at using pre-tax deductions. Please see the instructions for Pre-Tax Commuter Benefit (PDF) to learn more.
