Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART): The Concord housing site is located adjacent to BART, providing easy access to public transportation. The BART station is essentially in the backyard of the housing area. Currently it is a short walk to the station from the front entrance of housing. There is the potential future plan to open a controlled access point in the wall dividing the housing and BART property to allow for more direct access. This housing site is an ideal location for any MLCPAC personnel who will be working at the Oakland Federal downtown with the BART station within a block. A shuttle service has been established between BART, CG Island, and the Federal Building making it a convenient choice for CG Island employees as well. Employees who have selected this option for commuting have found financial benefits in two ways; reduced car insurance rates, and mass transit reimbursement benefits. Commuting Distances: The commute from Concord housing to Coast Guard Island is 26 Miles by car and normally takes approximately 25-35 minutes depending on the time of day and traffic.
