Your group can travel either by using individually encoded tickets or if your group is 100 or more people, a Letter of Authorization. BART needs to receive your letter and payment at least 10 business days before your planned trip in order to process your order.
If you do not have time to request tickets, students 18 years old or younger and traveling on a chaperoned school field trip, may use Red youth tickets. Red tickets can be purchased from BART Tickets to Go Vendors. Download a school field trip request form.
