Link 21 Open House

Link21 is a passenger rail Program that aims to improve train travel and connect the rail networks in Northern California. The centerpiece of the Program is a second train crossing between San Francisco and Oakland as envisioned in the California State Rail Plan. Along with the new crossing to accommodate travel within the congested Transbay corridor, Link21 includes improvements to both San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) and Regional Rail networks.

Link21’s Online Open House is live until Dec. 15th! The Open House includes more information about the Program, the upcoming decision between BART and Regional Rail in a new transbay crossing, and a short survey where you can provide feedback.

Freeway interchanges and state-owned surface streets (like parts of San Pablo Ave, Mission Blvd, International Blvd, Ashby Ave, and others) are among the most dangerous places for biking in the East Bay. Help Caltrans prioritize improvements via their bike plan update by adding comments to this map, and favoriting other people’s comments.
