The Dumbarton transportation corridor is a vital connector between the East Bay and the South San Francisco Peninsula. The objective of the Dumbarton Transit Project is to enhance mobility between residential neighborhoods in the East Bay and job centers on the South San Francisco Peninsula. The District and CBTP are exploring new, environmentally appropriate alternatives for a high-quality, high-capacity public transit system. Once identified and implemented, these proposed transportation improvements aim to bring commute alternatives along with job and housing opportunities to the Bay Area. The Project may also facilitate mixed-use transit-oriented development at key transit connections. The District and CBTP will be conducting a series of community outreach meetings at key intervals during the planning process.
