MTC and transit agency partners are developing new maps and signs to help make trips easier to understand for both existing and new riders. The work is highlighted in this new slideshow

New transit signs and maps are being developed for use across all nine Bay Area counties. They show transit service information in different ways than before.

For example, they emphasize the names of the services and how often they run, de-prioritizing the names and logos of individual transit agencies. Standardized colors, line styles and labels indicate how often a bus or train arrives at a particular stop.

Public feedback will help MTC staff revise the designs, which will then inform the next stage of the project. Refined maps and wayfinding materials are expected to be installed at seven additional major transit hubs and on select bus routes across the Bay Area this year and in 2026.
