The Free Broadway Shuttle makes Downtown Oakland more accessible and equitable, providing safe and free mobility to all throughout Jack London, Chinatown, Uptown, Downtown, Old Oakland, and even Broadway/Valdez. It serves both a transportation and economic development role, providing important connections for customers and businesses, and also for workers and commuters between the neighborhoods and modes of transit-- Train, BART, Ferry, and AC Transit.
