AC Transit

Commuters planning to use Berkeley roads from Saturday evening to midday Sunday should be prepared for street closures, detours, parking restrictions and rerouted buses due to the Berkeley Half Marathon.

Whether you're out of state or simply not from the area, all incoming freshmen and junior transfers were fed the same lie when they first came to UC Berkeley: San Francisco is just 15 short minutes away!

In the Frequent Service Scenario, lines in high-demand areas would run more often, providing weekday service at least once every 30 minutes for local routes, whereas the Balanced Coverage Scenario would maintain approximately the same coverage while simplifying routes to improve reliability and shorten travel times.

After an alleged violation of the California Voting Rights Act, or CVRA, AC Transit will redraw district lines and expand its leadership from five to seven wards, while eliminating its two at-large seats on the Board of Directors.

The California Department of Transportation, or Caltrans, has chosen 90 transportation projects throughout the state to award a collective $41.6 million in its annual planning grants for fiscal year 2023-24.

AC Transit made a slate of changes to bus routes starting in August, including the extension of Line 7 and reduction of less traveled lines in Berkeley, it announced Thursday. 

During the May budget revision, Newsom announced that this deficit has grown to almost $32 billion. With the governor hesitant to cut services and unable to increase spending, public transit has suffered.

The AC Transit Board of Directors unanimously approved a motion to extend line 7 in order to add service to Ashby Avenue. Ashby Avenue was once covered by line 80, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and low ridership. 

Bolstered by a rise in voter turnout, both referenda on the 2023 ASUC ballot passed Friday night and secured funds for public transportation and the Graduate Assembly.

For the sixth time in campus history, students will be able to vote on the Class Pass Renewal Referendum in the upcoming spring 2023 ASUC election cycle.
