I have Autoload set up for a monthly pass, and I may not be using it the whole month. What can I do?

Log in to your Clipper account. Find your card and select Manage Autoload from the More Options menu. Your Autoload is now cancelled, but your online account will not reflect this until the next time you tag your card. You can now pay for individual transit rides by loading cash value online, by phone, at a ticket machine or at a participating retailer (call first).

I bought a pass and ended up not using it all. Can I get a partial refund?

Transit agencies set policies about refunds for their passes, but if you call the Clipper Customer Service Center at 877.878.8883, we will submit your request to your transit agency and notify you of their decision.

I still have to go to work. Are monthly passes still available? Can I buy a 31-day pass?

Currently, passes are available, but some transit agencies are not charging fares – see 511.org. opens in new window for a full list – so you may not need a pass.

I placed a transit benefit order for a pass I no longer need. Can I stop my order? Can I get a refund?

We cannot stop your order from going through, but you would have to tag your card to load the pass on your card. As long as you don’t tag your card and pick up the pass, we will issue a refund to your transit benefit provider within 30 days of the expiration date of the pass. This does not include orders for BART HVD or cash value. BART HVD and cash value will be available to load for up to 6 months.

I placed a transit benefit order for cash value, BART HVD or a 31-day pass, but now I don’t expect to ride transit. Will I be able to load that value when I go back to work?

Yes, that value will be available to load for up to 6 months.

The deadline for my next transit benefit order is coming up soon – should I order a pass?

You should consider whether you plan to ride enough to justify ordering a pass with your next order. If you are not sure, you may be better off changing your order to load cash value. You can always add more cash value online, by phone, at a ticket machine or at a participating retailer (call first) if needed.
