The Nueva School, located adjacent to the Caltrain Hillsdale Station, is the first school to make Caltrain’s Go Pass available to all of its students, staff and faculty.

The Go Pass - a small sticker affixed to a company or school issued photo ID badge – can be used in any zone throughout the system, seven days a week. Businesses, residences or educational institutions pay an annual fee for all eligible users.

Although the school has only been using the pass for a few months, the school community is onboard - an informal survey conducted indicates that well over 50 percent of its 163 students are regular Caltrain riders.
