Wed., August 29 is a Spare the Air day
08.28.2007

Wednesday, August 29 has been declared a Spare the Air day. As part of the Spare the Air program you can ride BART free from the start of service until 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 29. Anyone entering a BART station between the start of service and 1:00 p.m. can ride free on Wednesday, August 29!

This is the first of four possible free transit days.

Ride BART free until 1 p.m. on the first four weekday "Spare the Air" days (excluding holidays) occurring between June 1 and October 12, 2007! Anyone entering a BART station before 1 p.m. can ride free on these days.

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) are partnering with BART and 32 other transit agencies throughout the region.

BART and other rail systems (CalTrain, Ace Train) and ferries will be free until 1:00 p.m. All regional bus systems will be free all day. Keep the air as clean as possible by taking the bus, walking or riding your bike to the BART station.

Daily fee parking in BART lots will be free and no validation will be required on Spare the Air days, but all reserved/permit parking regulations and other parking regulations will be enforced by BART Police. All other BART rules will also be in effect, including no eating or drinking. Bike rules will be enforced, as well.

The free transit promotion ends on October 12 or following the fourth non-holiday weekday Spare the Air day of the 2007 season, whichever comes first. This project is made possible by funds from the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) program and Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA)/Air District funding.

For more information, visit sparetheair.org or 511.org. You can receive advance notification of Spare the Air days by registering for "Air Alerts" at sparetheair.org.

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District declares a Spare the Air day when it expects air pollution to reach unhealthy concentrations, which typically occur on hot, windless days. Spare the Air advisories are issued the afternoon before a Spare the Air day.

In addition to BART, the following transit agencies are also participating in the free transit program:

* AC Transit
* ACE
* Alameda-Harbor Bay Ferry
* Alameda-Oakland Ferry
* American Canyon Shuttle
