Too cute!!!

At a ribbon cutting today, BART marked the completion of a transformation of North Berkeley Station that will make it easier for more people to walk and bike to the station and set the stage for the future TOD at the station, which will bring hundreds of affordable homes to the community.

Hello Bay Area! We just opened up a few new spots for the Berkeley South Asian Radical History Walking Tour on Sunday morning Tours always sell out, so please reserve your spots ASAP www.berkeleysouthasian.org

Director Barnali Ghosh and Director Victor Flores joined the first half of the Speedrun and spoke to the crowd. We’re about halfway through. There’s still time to join us as we make our way from Dublin/Pleasanton to Berryessa/North San Jose.

SB 63 is headed to the Governor's desk. It is a historic opportunity to allow voters in 5 counties of the Bay Area to consider a sales tax measure in Nov 2026 to preserve and improve transit. BART, and the entire transit network that keeps the Bay Area moving, stand to benefit from this bill.

SB63, the bill authorising a regional ballot measure to raise money for Bay Area public transit agencies passed the Senate floor at around 1:30 am last night! Headed to the Governor who from what I understand has until Oct 12 to sign it.

Now onto the Senate floor 😬

BayPass demonstrated students’ excitement about public transit. We should be dreaming of new stations, late-night service, and better frequencies — not worrying over cuts that would leave us stranded. Stand up for our youth, call Governor Newsom today: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Nice video explaining the safety benefits of daylighting from @berkeleyca.gov! youtu.be/GMVOWQKmXFY

⭐️ Berkeley! If you want bike share but can’t justify doing it because there isn’t a doc close to you, this is a SUPER easy way to get one. <5 minutes of your time now = save infinite time and money in the long run!

BART will start replacing the fare gates at the North Berkeley station next week. They're already in place at the Downtown Berkeley stop.

Saturday was our 2nd highest ridership day for a Saturday post pandemic! We served 129,172 trips. That is a 33k increase in trips compared to last Saturday. Stations with the highest increases: Civic Center (highest ridership of the day with 13k exits) Embarcadero 12th Street Oakland Rockridge

We’re announcing new legislation (SB 63) to provide long-term stable funding to Bay Area transit systems, authorizing a multi-county revenue measure for 2026. If we do nothing, major systems (BART, Muni, AC Transit, Caltrain) will be forced into massive service cuts. We must not let that happen.🧵

Bach on the Subways has begun! Thanks to Kiana and Sage for being the inaugural performers on BART this year. Be on the lookout for more performances. The schedule is threaded below ⬇️

The driver hit & killed a bike rider Kiranjot Deol after swerving into a paint-only bike lane on Boyce Rd in Fremont while going 69 mph in a 45 mph zone, then waited 11 minutes before calling it in. www.mercurynews.com/2025/02/27/m...

We are deeply upset by this horrible news of another pedestrian death in our community. Holding all who knew and loved Elise Lusk in our thoughts.

Berkeley people - show up to speak up FOR bikes! FOR all ages and abilities! Our city staff too often hear from people *against* things. But we know that’s not representative of general sentiment. So show up to one of these events with enthusiasm and your hopes for what we can achieve!

Thank you @asianlawcaucus.bsky.social for suing the hell out of the Trump administration. This is why I’m a donor. https://www.asianlawcaucus.org/news-resources/news/birthright-citizenship-executive-order

Join us at 5pm TODAY to speak out against AC Transit board considering an overblown censure of Director Sarah Syed. She goes above and beyond in service to the community and because of that some of her colleagues want to reprimand her. Click here for details actionnetwork.org/events/speak...

We just scheduled the first Berkeley South Asian Radical History Walking Tour of 2025. Please come join us on Sunday, January 26 in Berkeley, California. We’re going to explore sites associated with four generations of South Asian activism, and go deep into the histories weren’t taught in school.

More than a year ago, @barnalighosh.bsky.social heeded the call of her community that she would be the ideal person to run for the elected BART Board that oversees public transit across 5 counties w/ 48+ million passengers. After an inspiring campaign, loved seeing Director Ghosh sworn in today!

We took BART to our first date, and even our wedding. Please join me in congratulating @barnalighosh.bsky.social, the newest member of the @bart.gov board of directors!
