Commuter Benefit

USF provides a commuter subsidy each semester to USF-PTFA members who meet the requirements:

  • Teaching a class the current semester

  • Do not have an on-campus parking permit

Full time staff who also teach are not eligible.

Each Clipper Transit Card is pre-loaded with a commuter subsidy, in the form of Clipper cash, in the amount of $210 for the semester. PTFA members teaching in summer receive a pre-loaded commuter card with $70.

Human Resources will send out an email announcing when the cards are available for pickup at HR on Lone Mountain. Typically, the cards are available 2 or 3 weeks after the Census Date, usually by October 1 (fall), March 1 (spring), and June 15 (summer).

In addition, adjunct professors can set aside pre-tax dollars (up to $255/month) for eligible transportation passes through MyCommuter Check (MYCC). For more information and to enroll, please visit: https://myusf.usfca.edu/human-resources/commuter-plan-and-subsidy-form
