PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS
In 2021, AC Transit staff implemented two new one-year service pilots. The first of these, Line 78, began in August 2021, and is a new peak-hour timed connection to peak commute direction ferry service operating out of the Seaplane Lagoon ferry terminal. It runs across the City of Alameda along Ralph Appezzato Memorial Parkway and Santa Clara Avenue and up to the Fruitvale BART Station in Oakland. The second pilot, which began in December 2021, is an extension of Line 60 from Chabot College along Hesperian Boulevard and Tennyson Road to the South Hayward BART Station.
The pilots described above are currently under consideration for continuation past the one-year mark, and may be extended or eliminated subject to ridership demand and performance . In compliance with AC Transit Board policies and Federal Transit Administration requirements, staff will conduct a Title VI equity analysis and will present a final proposal to the Board of Directors with the input received through the public hearing process. More details about these pilots are available online at www.actransit.org or by contacting the AC Transit Planning department at 510-891-7277.
