Looking Towards Recovery
During this unprecedented pandemic, BART and Capitol Corridor — along with our transit partners — are providing essential services to the traveling public. We're taking active measures to ensure the health and safety of riders and employees.
We've learned that the public supports long-range transportation projects, despite the short-term challenges posed by the pandemic. We're planning for the future to fulfill our commitment to fast, frequent, safe, reliable, and comfortable rail service for Northern Californians.
