"Now passengers at San Francisco International Airport can take advantage of Clear's airport security fast-pass program, an offering that combines technology and good customer service,” said Mayor Gavin Newsom. "The service will help participating travelers speed through checkpoints safely and securely."

"We're delighted that the City of San Francisco has pushed for this cutting-edge innovation for its frequent fliers," said Steven Brill, founder and CEO of Clear. "San Francisco is a major international and national gateway for millions of Bay Area business travelers and it is an important addition to the Clear network."

Brill added, "We have already seen enrollment in the Clear program spike on the announcement of San Francisco's desire to launch a program. Now that it is a reality, enrollments across the country and especially in the region have accelerated. Given the tremendous demand from area businesses, which are providing the Clear card for their travelers, San Francisco, like San José, will be among our top enrollment airports in the country."
