BART is prepared to support the large-scale vaccinations at the Oakland Coliseum and for a limited time will offer a free BART ride home for those who have been... vaccinated at the site. The vaccination site, which opens on Tuesday, February 16, 2021, will be in the parking lot of the Oakland Coliseum, which is accessible from the Coliseum BART station. Starting Tuesday, BART will have extra staff at the Coliseum BART station during BART operating hours and to provide anyone who has received a vaccine a free $7 BART ticket on-site after showing their vaccination card with a matching date. $7 is enough fare to get home to any station in the system, except SFO station. BART is also working to ensure those individuals who have mobility challenges will have assistance getting between the Coliseum BART Station and the vaccination site. It can be a long walk and BART is taking steps to make sure help is in place for those who need it. After you get the shot, we’ll get you home, said BART Board President Mark Foley. BART is proud to help people get to and from their vaccination appointment and we applaud the Governor and the Biden-Harris Administration for selecting a location that is easily accessible by transit. The vaccination site will be jointly operated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the State of California through the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and is part of the wider effort to create 100 vaccination sites nationwide in the President’s first 100 days. Coliseum Station has become BART’s 10th busiest BART station. The pandemic has caused a fundamental shift in system usage with stations serving transit dependent communities such as Coliseum and Fruitvale rising to the top of the most frequently used station list. BART’s limited promotion of a free ride home from Coliseum is only available for the Coliseum site until further notice. It is not being offered for other vaccination locations in the Bay Area. The free ticket is non-refundable and is only available on-site during BART’s operating hours and on the same day of the person’s appointment as verified by the date on the vaccination card. Riders should check train arrival and departures times to and from the Coliseum Station for the day of their appointment to plan their trip. BART will monitor ridership to and from the station to ensure social distancing on trains remains possible. Registration for vaccine appointments will be available through the state’s MyTurn scheduling system: https://myturn.ca.gov/
