Why does my pass say it is expired in Reserve California?
When logging into Reserve California, pass holders may see that their pass indicates that it is ‘expired’ on the ‘Your Passes’ page. This is the record of your original transaction and does not indicate the current status of your discount.
Pass holders can verify that they are receiving their discount by looking at their profile details and verifying that the customer classification still reflects ‘Distinguished Veteran’ or ‘Disabled Discount’– so long as the customer classification reflects ‘Distinguished Veteran’ or ‘Disabled Discount’, the appropriate discount will still be applied.
If you believe that your pass should have been part of the pass extension but the classification is reflecting ‘Regular’, please contact the pass office.
