Bikes on BART!

Starting July 1, bikes will be allowed on trains during all hours, including commute hours.  However, from 7 am-9 am and 4:30 pm-6:30 pm bikes will not allowed to board the first three cars of any train to provide options for those who want to avoid bikes altogether.

Other safety rules relating to bikes will still apply such as: no bikes are ever allowed in the first train car at any time, bikes are never allowed on crowded trains, bicyclists must yield priority seating to seniors and those with disabilities, bikes are not to block doorways or aisles and are not allowed on escalators.   Folding bikes are allowed on all trains.

According to customer surveys, rider acceptance of lifting the ban is increasing with 76% of respondents supporting the move to allow bikes during the commute.  BART is also working to double the number of secure bike parking spots at stations to encourage more passengers to commute by bike, and thus free up parking spots for cars, and then leaving the bike behind at the station.  A bike etiquette campaign will also begin in July to encourage safe and courteous practices.

If you are leaving your bike at a BART station make sure it is locked well.  Whether you’re taking your bike on board or parking it at a station, make sure you record your bike’s serial number along with a description of the bike.  This will greatly increase your chance of recovery if it is stolen.

Sign Up Today for Emeryville’s FREE Automated Notification System for Emergencies and More!

The CodeRED system is a free web-based automated notification service that sends personalized voice, email, text, and social media messages.  CodeRED will be  used for emergencies,, such as evacuation notices, missing child alerts, and post-earthquake or other disaster instructions   But, you can also sign up to receive automatic notices for public meeting, community events, and other non-emergency community outreach initiatives.

CodeRED works primarily through free subscription so please sign-up today and notify your friends/family/neighbors about this service.  Subscribers determine delivery modes (landline, cell phone, voice, text, email, social media) they want to receive for emergency notices as well as whether the subscriber wishes to receive non-emergency notices.  CodeRED will automatically send emergency messages to 911 landline phones without prior subscription (but you must subscribe to receive any notifications by cell phone, email, or text).  Emeryville residents, businesses, and visitors can subscribe to the system.  CodeRED also offers a geo-aware mobile alert app that can be downloaded by anyone working or travelling through the Emeryville or other CodeRED enabled cities for notification of emergency alerts.  The City will be able to target notifications by geographic area (such as radius or blocks), street address, and residence vs. business addresses; or by special lists to avoid sending out notifications to those not in an affected area.


Sign-up today and find out more detailed information on the CodeRED system or contact the City Clerk's Office.
