Transit
Caltrain can be a great option for those living within a few miles of a Caltrain station. SFHS will contribute 30% the cost of a Caltrain monthly pass.
We provide shuttle bus service in the morning from the Mountain View Caltrain Station to SFHS campus. Details to sign up for these programs and resources are below.
Transit Incentive
SFHS will contribute 30% to the cost of your Caltrain youth monthly pass. If you are interested in the transit subsidy:
1) Apply for a Youth Clipper Card (This is a one-time process, which takes about 5-7 days.)
2) Register your Youth Clipper Card on Clipper.com.
3) Send an email to the Sustainable Transportation Program Coordinator at transportation@SFHS.com with the subject heading “transit subsidy”. Include the name of the Caltrain station where you board. This will allow us to calculate the 30% CalTrain monthly pass subside based on the number of zones you travel through to get to the Mountain View Transit Station.
