BART unveiled a 15-step plan Wednesday to renew passenger confidence in the safety of riding public transit amid the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

The funding will support the district's transit and ferry services during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

The long-awaited openings of two new BART stations was announced on Tuesday. Service to Milpitas and Berryessa stations begins Saturday, June 13. 

The separation project will raise the tracks and lower 25th Avenue so vehicle and pedestrian traffic can pass underneath the tracks.

Contra Costa bus 311 is providing service from the station to the Pleasant Hill station, officials said.

The passenger loading and unloading zone on the east side of the station will be permanently moved to a location on the first floor of the parking garage, while shuttle bus stops are moving to Rollins Road.

Caltrain locomotive JPBX 909 struck the person about 10:45 a.m., when the train was headed south toward Gilroy,.

San Francisco leaders are preparing to reopen as many as 95% of the city's retail businesses for curbside pickup and delivery. That means that mass transit is ramping up and preparing to get people moving.

The COVID-19 crisis is costing transit agencies, riders, and in some cases, the lion’s share of revenue.

The man was reported on the tracks about 10 a.m. and the station was closed and trains stopped while police investigated.

Some lanes of Highway 24 in Orinda are also closing overnight, due to the BART track replacement project near the Orinda station.

Commuters who drive could face much longer trips to work in the Bay Area if there's a significant drop in mass transit use after the coronavirus pandemic subsides.

BART expects to begin the project May 9 and 10 and continue work on weekends through July 4 and 5.
