Example Concepts

With new connections between BART and Regional Rail at Salesforce Transit Center, travelers have greater access to key destinations across Northern California.

From San Francisco, travelers can head down the Peninsula or go across the Bay to connect with the East Bay, Sacramento, and the Central Valley.

This new connection also opens up a potential future opportunity to extend BART into western San Francisco.

With new BART and Regional Rail stations in Alameda, residents and businesses would be served by passenger rail for the first time ever.

From there, travelers would have a quick, direct rail line – on either BART or Regional Rail – into San Francisco and on to San Jose. Or they could travel to Emeryville, Richmond, Oakland, and points beyond.

This example concept offers new transfer stations between BART, Regional Rail, and many other transit modes at Salesforce Transit Center, Alameda, Jack London Square, West Oakland, the Coliseum, and Richmond.

These essential transfer points open up new travel options and offer improved interconnectivity between BART and Regional Rail. This creates much-needed flexibility for passengers and resilience for the Megaregion.

This is a game-changer for travelers who want to travel from points around the Megaregion directly to and from San Francisco and the East Bay.

This combined concept creates the potential for more direct trips all around the Megaregion, such as between the Sacramento Valley, Northern San Joaquin Valley, the East Bay, the Peninsula, and Silicon Valley.
