Attention @Athletics fans! For Opening Day and future home games at the Oakland Coliseum, BART will be providing extra trains after BART closes service to take fans departing night games back home.

For full information, please visit bart.gov/news/articles/…
For Opening Day, April 1, BART will offer a one-time-only special service plan: One train per BART route will be standing by once the game ends (Berryessa, Dublin, Millbrae, Richmond-Antioch riders should board Richmond train and transfer to an Antioch train at MacArthur)
Reason for Opening Day's unique service plan is because @Athletics Opening Day game begins at 7:07 pm, later than future 2021 season home games at 6:40 pm.

For Opening Day: There will be no other trains that run between the last scheduled trains and the extra event trains.
After Opening Day, future 2021 @Athletics home games (6:40pm start time) BART will provide one extra batch of trains. These trains are timed to allow fans to stay the average length of a 9-inning game.

BART will not hold trains any longer than extra event train schedule below.
LAST NORTHBOUND TRAINS FOR @Athletics HOME GAMES:

-9:33pm Richmond-bound (scheduled)
-9:36pm Daly City-bound (scheduled)
-10:18pm SF/Millbrae-bound (extra)
-10:21pm Richmond-bound (extra)

An extra Antioch-bound train will meet the 10:21pm Richmond train at 10:38 at MacArthur
LAST SOUTHBOUND TRAINS FOR @Athletics HOME GAMES:

-10:14pm Berryessa-bound (scheduled)
-10:22pm Dublin/Pleasanton-bound (extra)
Q: What about games which go extra innings?

A: BART will not hold trains any longer than the added event train schedule outlined below, even if games go later. The trains are timed to allow fans to stay the average length of a 9-inning game.
Q: What about Giants games from Oracle Park?

A: The location of Oracle Park prevents us from being able to provide extended service after Giants games at this time.
Full information on the last BART trains for @Athletics home games are provided at bart.gov/news/articles/…

Plan ahead and accordingly using the BART Trip Planner at bart.gov/planner or using the Official BART App in both iOS and Android.

Reading a book on the train is a tale-old tradition many BART riders partake in.

To encourage reading for those even without a book, BART is piloting touchless @ShortEdition_EN Short Story Dispensers, which print out short stories, at 4 BART stations. ImageImage
The Short Story Dispensers print 1-, 3-, or 5-minute reads on recyclable receipt paper.

The dispensers are located inside paid areas at Montgomery (coming soon), Fruitvale, Richmond and Pleasant Hill — where we tried out and printed out Percy Shelley’s “Ozymandias”!
Unlike us, you can simply print out stories by hovering your finger over the button! No need to touch!

The one-year pilot is being sponsored by BART Communications and its Art Program, as installation begins on National Reading Month. @RIFWEB ImageImage

Starting Tuesday, February 16, BART will offer a free ticket back home to those who have been vaccinated at the Oakland Coliseum vaccination site.

The site, which opens on Feb 16, is jointly led by @fema and @Cal_OES. BART is ready to support their efforts to vaccinate Bay Area.
Starting February 16, extra BART staff will be deployed to Coliseum Station to provide anyone who received a vaccine a free $7 BART ticket on-site after showing their vaccination card with a matching date.

$7 is enough fare to get back home to any BART station, except SFO.
We know it can be a long walk from Coliseum Station to the Coliseum.

BART staff is working to secure ensure riders with mobility challenges or disabilities will receive accommodations getting between Coliseum Station and the vaccination site for their vaccination.

One year ago today, BART launched its Ambassador program to increase trained, uniformed & unarmed personnel in its system.

They provide many services, such as giving free face masks, safety tips, directions, and connecting those in crisis with services.
In the past year, BART Ambassadors have tallied the following statistics:

▪️12,000 educational contacts (most frequent type of contact)
▪️~10,000 rider checks on platforms
▪️1,000+ free face masks handed to riders
▪️132 cases where police officers was called for assistance
In the past year, 10 ambassadors -- working in teams of 2 -- walk trains and stations, report to safety and security concerns or biohazards, and respond to customers’ questions or service requests. Ambassadors are uniformed and trained in de-escalation techniques.

Happy Monday, Bay Area!

BART continues to provide weekly train car loading charts on bart.gov/crowding & social media. The charts provide a snapshot of what riders can expect on-board trains this week.

Yellow & Blue lines for 2/8/21-2/12/21 ImageImageImageImage
Since June, the charts have been posted on bart.gov/crowding every week.

How to use it: Look up your line, station and then departure time. The # in the box is the expected average # of riders on each car at departure of station.

Red and Green lines, 2/8/21-2/12/21 ImageImageImageImage
Important notes about the data in these charts:

-Reflects average # of riders on each car as the train departs each station
-Assumes passengers are evenly spread through all cars on a train
-Is not real-time information

The BART Board meets at 9am: bart.gov/about/bod/mult…
Topics:
▪️New Customer Satisfaction Survey results (72%, up from 56% in 2018)
▪️COVID-19 update including employee testing and contract tracing
▪️Automatic License Plate Readers for parking enforcement and to simplify payment
2020 Customer Satisfaction Survey:
▪️72% satisfied (up from 56%)
▪️81% would recommend to a friend (up from 74%)
▪️79% say they can socially distance their entire trip, 16% say they can for part of their ride and 4% say they can't
▪️Riders rated our COVID response above average
The results are encouraging and serve as an incentive for us to work even harder.

The results give us guidance on where we need to focus more attention and resources: enhancing cleaning efforts, increasing the presence of safety staff, and keeping trains running as frequently.

For years, elected reps, advocates and passengers have envisioned a NorCal region connected by a rail network prioritizing efficiency & equity.

Today BART & @CapitolCorridor are taking a major step to realize the vision. Say hello to the #Link21 Program! link21program.org Aerial photo of BART and Capitol Corridor trains at Richmond
Link21 is a multiyear Program to create an integrated rail network for a growing 21-county Northern California Megaregion.

#Link21 will optimize existing rail networks and new rail projects to increase capacity and reliability – such as a new transbay rail crossing. Map of 21 counties in Northern California taken into account
What does an integrated rail network in Northern California with #Link21 look like?

It can mean:
- More destinations within 1-hr radius by rail
- More direct connections
- Reduced wait times
- Extended BART service hours
- And more! Map of Bay Area regional transit services
