Spare the Air Day: Free BART, Caltrain, AC Transit, SF Muni, Ferry rides (Bay Area)

Thursday, June 19

June 19 is the one and only day this year the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission will provide free rides on BART and 29 other transit systems. BART will be free until noon on Thursday, June 19. Caltrain, Altamont Commuter Express (ACE), AirBART shuttles and Amtrak Capitol Corridor trains, and Golden Gate, Alameda-Oakland, Alameda-Harbor Bay and Vallejo ferries will also be free until noon. Bay Area bus and light-rail systems (like AC Transit, Muni and SamTrans) will be free all day.

Daily fee parking in BART lots will be free and no validation will be required on June 19, but all reserved/permit parking regulations and other parking regulations will be enforced. All other BART rules will also be in effect, including no eating or drinking. Bike rules will be enforced, as well.

To protect public health, the Air District will continue to issue Spare the Air advisories when ozone levels are expected to exceed federal guidelines. However, there will not be free transit on those days. You can subscribe to free email Air Alerts at www.sparetheair.org.
