AC Transit Service Updates Related to COVID-19
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, AC Transit staff has made tremendous efforts to respond to the pandemic, keep operators and passengers as safe as possible, and continue with core business operations as feasible. In addition, staff has made every effort to remain nimble and flexible, while operating in a public transit environment that is changing on a daily basis.
Given the recent uptick in positive cases coupled with the rollback of business and facilities opening, we are still in the Emergency Response phase of the Recovery Plan. However, some aspects of the District’s activities will advance to the next phase such as restoration of bus service on select local and Transbay lines on August 9, 2020. Other aspects could advance depending on changes in environmental and financial conditions. Flexibility is key for all of AC Transit’s activities during the pandemic.
AC Transit has been keeping the East Bay moving for 60 years. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, our community took over 53 million rides annually. Whether you’re currently riding or will be back with us soon, we’re working around the clock to provide you with a safe ride.
We’ve united with our transit partners across the Bay Area with the common goal of providing a safe ride for the public as the region responds to the COVID-19 pandemic. Learn more about the Riding Together: Bay Area Healthy Transit Plan here. Read the resolution endorsing this plan as a baseline set of measures from the AC Transit Board of Directors here.
Our reNEW Plan goes beyond the standards of this plan to help keep the East Bay healthy and thriving. Read our reNEW Plan here.
