Emeryville, California - Transportation

Transportation

Emeryville has an Amtrak station, which is the final destination on the company's California Zephyr line. It also serves as Amtrak's station for San Francisco-bound passengers (via a bus connector over the Bay Bridge), as there is no Amtrak train service to any city on the San Francisco Peninsula (including San Francisco). It sits about two miles (3 km) west of the MacArthur BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) Station in Oakland. To supplement the bus service provided by AC Transit, the regional transit agency, the city runs a free shuttle service called Emery Go Round that serves MacArthur BART, the Amtrak station, the Bay Street shops, the Watergate condominium complex and nearby marina, and other locations throughout Emeryville and into Berkeley.

As for freeway access, it sits on a key section of Interstate 80, just north of where that freeway meets Interstate 880 and Interstate 580 in a large interchange known as the MacArthur Maze. Highway 24 is also accessible from Emeryville, which connects southbound to Interstate 880 via Highway 980 and continues eastward to Highway 680, towards Walnut Creek and Concord.

Emeryville also maintains a small marina with limited services. There is a standing citizen Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee.
