The Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit) will be operating temporary fare-free vaccine shuttles to help Oakland residents receive the vaccine from the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum mass vaccination site.

The shuttles will operate between 8 am – 7:30 pm, 7 days a week. The shuttles will run every 15 minutes from Coliseum BART and the Eastmont Transit Center to the vaccination site, starting on Tuesday, February 16, 2021. Due to capacity issues related to COVID-19, social distancing measures will be enforced, limiting bus capacity to 10 riders on board at a time.

Two shuttle bus routes will serve the Coliseum Vaccination Site:

BART – COLISEUM SHUTTLE

Operates every 15 minutes between Coliseum BART and the Coliseum Vaccination Site with connections to bus lines 45, 46L, 73, 90, and 98. This allows riders with mobility issues direct access without having to make the long walk from Coliseum BART or nearby bus stops.

EASTMONT – BART COLISEUM SHUTTLE

Operates every 20 minutes between Eastmont Transit Center and Coliseum BART with connections to bus lines 1T, 40, 45, 57, 73, 90, 98, and NL before going to the Vaccination Site. This allows riders in East Oakland neighborhoods direct access to the vaccine.
