GETTING TO THE CONVENTION VIA AIRPORTS USING BART

If you think you’ll require a wheelchair to meet you at the gate or baggage claim, to help you get to the shuttles or bus that takes you to BART, please make those arrangements with your airline before you travel.

OAKLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:

  • The entrance to BART is between Terminals 1 and 2.
  • Take the free AirBART shuttle from the terminal to the Coliseum Station, and enter BART there.
  • From Coliseum Station, take the Orange Line (Richmond) train. It takes about 12 minutes to get to the 12th Street station.
  • DO NOT TAKE THE DALY CITY OR MILLBRAE TRAIN, it will not take you to 12th Street Station.
