About

AC Transit keeps the East Bay moving. We connect 1.5 million people across 13 cities with reliable, essential bus service—carrying more than 140,000 riders every weekday. As the largest bus-only transit system in California, we help workers get to jobs, students get to school, and communities stay connected. With one of the nation’s leading zero-emission bus programs, we’re delivering cleaner, greener transportation for the future.

Additional Info

For 65 years, AC Transit has connected East Bay residents to jobs, school, healthcare, and community life.  However, rising costs have outpaced funding provided for AC Transit. We now face a four-year, $200 million deficit beginning in Fiscal Year 2027-28.  

A recent State of California "bridge" loan provides temporary relief but does not solve the ongoing lack of funding. The passage of a proposed ballot measure in November could provide funding for us to continue full service. However, without that additional funding, AC Transit faces unavoidable cuts of as much 16% of our bus service and potential layoffs impacting as many as 300 AC Transit employees.  Learn more at actransit.org
