We are now restoring normal service after BART PD safely removed a trespasser who was in the trackway near Coliseum Station. Expect residual delays during service restoration.

There is a major delay on the Berryessa Line in the Dublin / Pleasanton, Berryessa, Richmond, and Daly City directions due to an unauthorized person on the track between Coliseum and San Leandro stations

It is actually every station. The post got that key detail wrong.

We thank the East Bay Economic Development Alliance for this recognition and the many BART employees who work hard every day to envision and establish a Bay Area that is stronger and more connected than ever.

This is a pivotal year for BART, and it's given our staff the opportunity to reflect on our groundbreaking history while looking ahead to the future of our agency and this region.

For more than five decades, BART has shaped this region’s economic growth, enabled access to opportunities and enriching experiences, and fostered connected and sustainable communities. The Legacy Award recognizes our enduring and meaningful impact on the millions of people who live and work here.

Last week, BART was honored with the Legacy Award at the 2026 East Bay Innovation Awards hosted by the East Bay Economic Development Alliance in recognition of our long history of innovation and bold foresight. Our GM Bob Powers had the honor of accepting the award.

The congressman got to see BART’s efforts to improve cleanliness and safety and meet the workers who make the system run every day. We thank the congressman for making the time to come out and for his support of BART.

Employees gave presentations and answered questions about the inner workings of the agency, while engineers and transportation staff set up booths around the room with cool equipment the kids could touch and explore.

During the annual event, participants and their families spent the entire afternoon at BART, not just to record the announcements, but to learn about the system directly from staff.

Listen closely to the PA announcements in BART stations; you might just hear the voice of one of BART’s biggest fans.

For Autism Acceptance Month in April, 12 local youth on the autism spectrum recorded announcements which will play every 15 minutes at select stations through the end of the month.

BART’s TOD Program is building high-quality, affordable homes right next to BART, which strengthens our communities and helps this region thrive.

Affordable housing is being built right now at stations across the East Bay. Including at El Cerrito Plaza Station, and we expect to break ground at West Oakland Station later this year.

At BART, our goal is to build 20,000 units of housing at our stations by 2040, with at least 35% designated as subsidized affordable housing.

Clara was an activist with deep roots in Oakland’s Chinatown. The building’s Chinese name, 陳依妙明光大廈, combines her Chinese name, Ming Quong (Radiant Light) and Residences. Ming Quong, Radiant Light, is a nod to Clara’s community impact and the name of the Girl’s Orphanage that used to be on this site.

We celebrated the topping out of the Lake Merritt TOD Senior Affordable Housing building last week with East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation and they unveiled the big news … the building will be named the Clara E. Chan Lee Residences!
