The San Francisco East Bay combines the energy of the Bay Area with the space, diversity, and quality of life that make it a place to call home. Residents are minutes from San Francisco and within easy reach of Napa Valley, Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada, Monterey, Carmel, and Mendocino. Add vibrant neighborhoods and strong economic opportunities, and the East Bay stands out as an exceptional place to live, work, and explore. We are more than a transportation provider; we are an essential lifeline. Three out of four riders are people of color, approximately 65% are transit-dependent, and nearly two-thirds are low-income, underscoring the critical role AC Transit plays in connecting East Bay communities to opportunity every day.
