FAQs

Why do College of Marin students get free transit access?

In the Spring semester of 2015, COM students voted, with a 72% approval rate, to have the Board of Trustees of the Marin Community College District approve a policy to require all College of Marin students enrolled in one or more units of credit or non-credit instruction, during fall, spring, or summer semesters, to pay a transportation fee. This fee enables all College of Marin students to receive access to free local bus transportation via Marin Transit during their enrollment period. In addition to free access to all current transit services, the fee helps to provide additional service to campus.

I don’t plan to use my COM pass to ride the bus. Can I get a refund?
