*** Press Release ***

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), which operates the Municipal Railway (Muni), today announced that the agency will continue Senior and Youth Clipper sign-up and how-to events throughout April.

The Senior and Youth Clipper card events will be held at various locations including the West Portal, Powell and Montgomery Muni Metro Stations, the SFMTA’s Customer Service Office at 11 South Van Ness and several Walgreens locations. The dates, time and specific locations are listed below.

“We want to make the transition to the Clipper card as convenient as possible for our customers,” said Nathaniel P. Ford Sr., Executive Director/CEO. “We will continue to reach out to the community and work with our City partners to help our customers make the switch.”

At these events, seniors (65+) and youths (5 to 17) may sign up for Senior or Youth Clipper cards by completing an application and showing proof of age. Seniors will receive their card on-site. In the past, seniors applying for a Senior Clipper card had to wait up to 10 days to receive the card by mail. Youths will continue receive their cards by mail.

SFMTA Clipper Ambassadors will be on hand to show customers how to use the Muni Ticket Vending Machines to load passes and cash value on their card as well as how to use the Clipper card to enter the Muni fare gates.
