Ready to get moving? Transit Month, celebrated each September, is rolling in with activities designed to educate, offer plenty of reasons to take transit, and prizes. Whether you take BART, Muni, ferry, or hop on a shuttle, there’s something happening for you.
Getting around the Bay Area is anything but one-size-fits-all. There are plenty of options to choose from–BART, Muni, ferries, cable cars, trains, and UCSF shuttles. Whether your commute crosses the Bay or just crosses campus, there’s a route, ride, or set of wheels to get you there.
Check out the activities, plan your stops, and join us for the ride.
