BART agreed to extend the contracts with its two largest unions nine days past the June 30 contract expiration. The extension means the contracts would end 11:59 pm on July 9. If BART and its workers are unable to reach agreement, there is a possibility that BART service could be stopped as early as Friday, July 10.

In the event of a strike, 511 recommends that you carpool, ride with another transit provider, or avoid traveling. For the latest information on contingency transit services, visit the BART Service Update - Transit Options page. If you would like to get alternate transit itineraries, you can exclude BART and AirBART from your itinerary options using the Additional Options in the trip planner entry form.

Planning car-free adventures to Bay Area parks and trailheads has become as easy as visiting www.transitandtrails.org, thanks to the nonprofit Bay Area Open Space Council. The new interactive website identifies hundreds of trailheads and campgrounds on a Google map and links directly to MTC's 511 Transit Trip Planner. Once users enter their start location and choose a destination, they can print a detailed trip itinerary with a map, transit times, fares and walking directions to and from the transit stops.

Some agencies may be running a different schedule for the Observed Independence Day & Independence Day holiday. Please refer to the Transit.511 Holiday Information Page or the Accessible site version for more details.
