Bay Area riders can now plan and book short Uber trips - ranging from two to seven miles - to and from BART stations directly within the Official BART App. This exciting partnership between BART and Uber Transit is part of BART's ongoing commitment to enhance the customer experience by expanding and modernizing technology solutions that offer riders more flexible, convenient ways to get where they need to go.

BART is partnering with Uber Transit to fully integrate seamless end-to-end journey planning and payment all within the BART app. Riders will no longer need to use multiple apps to plan their BART trip and plan and pay for an Uber ride. Everything can be done without leaving the BART app, and the total trip time will be displayed, making things faster and easier for users.

Uber Transit is focused nationwide on supporting transit agencies to provide low-cost paratransit trips and to solve first/last mile challenges. This new partnership addresses a key challenge within the Bay Area's transit network: providing reliable connections for people whose starting location or destination is too far to comfortably walk to a station or bus stop or is underserved by frequent bus or rail service.

"Embracing technology to help people leave their cars at home and reduce congestion is a shared value within the Bay Area," said Bob Powers, BART's General Manager. "Collaborating with Uber will help attract new riders and will simplify the process for those who take Uber to and from BART stations. This partnership will also expand access options as we build more housing in place of parking lots at stations."

"Uber Transit is proud to partner with BART to bridge the crucial first/last mile challenge, helping transit agencies close gaps that too often keep people from getting where they need to go," said Chris Margaronis, Head of Transit Partnerships at Uber. "By integrating Uber rides directly into the BART app, we're simplifying travel, expanding access, and making public transit a more flexible, reliable option for everyone - especially those in underserved areas. Together, we're reimagining how people move across the Bay Area."

"No longer having to use multiple platforms to plan, book, and pay for a trip involving BART and Uber is a game changer for our riders," said Ravi Misra, BART's Chief Information Officer. "Providing this simple option on the BART app shows how innovation can improve access to BART and increase ridership."

The BART and Uber partnership includes a special, limited time $5 Uber trip discount at the launch of the program for trips starting or ending at the following ten selected BART stations:

• Antioch
• Bay Fair
• Concord
• Daly City
• Fruitvale
• Lake Merritt
• MacArthur
• Richmond
• Walnut Creek
• West Oakland

Riders can take advantage of the special $5 discount up to six times over seven calendar days.

These stations were selected based on locations not heavily served by frequent bus or rail service and in a way to ensure bus ridership is not significantly impacted. Great care has been taken to ensure sustainable and active modes of transportation remain featured in BART's Trip Planner.

In addition to Uber trips, BART's popular multimodal Trip Planner continues to include walking and biking options as well as other transit, bike-share, and scooter-share options for getting to and from BART stations. Riders can also customize preferences such as walking and biking speeds for planning their trips. To enhance regional transit coordination, BART's Trip Planner includes the schedules for regional rail service, such as Caltrain, Capitol Corridor, and ACE, as well as buses, ferries, and cable cars. During times when BART is experiencing major service disruptions, transit riders can plan itineraries that don't include BART as an option to help them get around.
