Document Description
The Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit), in cooperation with the Federal Transit Administration, proposes to implement high level bus rapid transit (BRT) improvements along an approximately 17-mile corridor connecting the cities of Berkeley, Oakland, and San Leandro in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. The East Bay BRT Project is designed to (a) improve transit service and better accommodate high existing bus ridership; (b) increase transit ridership by providing a viable and competitive alternative to auto travel; (c) improve and maintain the efficiency of transit service delivery; and (d) support local and regional goals to enhance transit-oriented development. The project would substantially increase service frequencies, expand transit capacity, and enhance bus reliability and speeds in a high demand, congested travel corridor with large ethnic minority and low income populations.
