Bay Area transit agencies and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) will debut test transit maps and signs next week with a press event and tour showcasing the new maps and signs at El Cerrito del Norte BART station.
- When: Thursday, Dec. 12, 2024
- Time: 3:30 p.m.
- Where: El Cerrito del Norte BART station, 6400 Cutting Blvd., El Cerrito
The public is invited to the event, where they will have the opportunity to meet Bay Area transit leaders and attend a guided tour to learn about the new signage and maps being tested at this station.
The current phase of work involves the installation of several "test" prototype signs and other communication materials at two transit stations that serve multiple transit agencies: El Cerrito del Norte BART station and the Santa Rosa Transit Mall/Downtown Santa Rosa SMART station.
Transit riders will be able to engage with the test materials during their journeys and share with MTC their ideas about how to make new signs and maps work better for them. This public feedback will help MTC and Bay Area transit agencies improve designs to make traveling by transit more intuitive and convenient.
About the project
The Regional Mapping & Wayfinding Project, a partnership between MTC and Bay Area transit agencies, will redesign and harmonize maps and signage across all nine Bay Area counties to help people navigate transit more easily. Learn more about the project at mtc.ca.gov/MappingWayfinding.
