Our bus operators showcased their skills at our bus roadeo. They navigated tight turns, got close to the sidewalk curb, and encountered various obstacles.
Operator Moises won and will represent AC Transit at the @apta_transit International Bus Roadeo in Salt Lake City, Utah.
International Boulevard is a vital corridor for Tempo Line 1T, moving about 15,000 riders daily between Downtown Oakland and San Leandro in dedicated bus-only lanes.
International Boulevard has long been a dangerous street for pedestrians. In 2023, AC Transit partnered with the City of Oakland Department of Transportation (OakDOT) on a Quick Build project to better address safety concerns along International Blvd.
The project added vertical delineator posts, refreshed pavement markings to better define bus-only lanes, piloted speed cushions, and installed updated 25 mph speed limit signage along the corridor.
The results were immediate. Illegal entries into the bus lane dropped by 83%, and average vehicle speeds decreased by nearly 5 mph. Most importantly, pedestrian fatalities along International Boulevard fell to zero in 2025.
Through this partnership with OakDOT, AC Transit is improving safety, reliability, for riders, and the residents of Oakland.
