ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACTS OF THE AC TRANSIT STRIKE UPON BART

The Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit) and the Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) provide bus and rapid rail public transportation, respectively, on the east side of San Francisco Bay. On July 1, 1974, AC Transit employees began a strike that was to last 62 days. This study assesses the impacts of the strike on BART travel, on travel between the east side of the Bay and San Francisco, and on the travelers who normally used AC Transit.
