Your best BART summer (by BART's biggest fans)
The calendar might say late August, but the rising temperatures are getting us into the summer spirit. Seize the sunshine and get on BART!
This summer, we invited some of our biggest fans to show us their favorite things to do by BART during break. School is back in session, but you can recreate their itineraries no matter the season.
Today, we released this summer's final guide, featuring BART expert Bella. Watch it here.
Bella, Zayn, Milo, Robert, and Lucy took us all over the Bay Area over the past few months. We went cloud chasing in Daly City, bought bagels and books in Berkeley, took a trip to the Nintendo Store in San Francisco, toured some “aesthetic stations,” and traveled to Target for school supplies.
All of our guides participated in the Autism Transit Project. Each spring, BART invites local youth on the spectrum to record announcements that play in stations during Autism Acceptance Month in April.
Find the guides at bart.gov/summer and on our YouTube channel.

BART holds outreach events and survey for BART Police Headquarters
BART is considering a number of options for the relocation of its Police Department's Administrative Headquarters that is currently located at 101 8th Street in Oakland, near the Lake Merritt Station.
These options may involve the renovation of an existing office building near the BART 19th Street Oakland Station. The proposed facility would house key functions of the police department, provide better public access, and allow for increased response in the event of a natural disaster or other emergency.
