Bart Shuttle to Pacific Research Center, Newark, CA

The Pacific Research Center (PRC) in Newark, CA, with nearly 1.4 million square feet of office, research, and manufacturing space, represents one of the largest multi-tenant research facilities in the Bay Area. The facility is home to cutting-edge science and technology companies that find Newark to be an ideal location for their business, and is conveniently located 5.3 miles from the Union City BART Station.

However, the only public transportation currently available from BART to the PRC requires up to an hour of additional commute time (20-30 minutes of walking and a 20-30 minute bus ride). Many of the facility’s commuters, who would otherwise welcome the opportunity to commute on BART, find this distance, though short, to be prohibitive.

The growing population of the PRC is petitioning for the creation of a daily shuttle service between the Union City BART Station and the Pacific Research Center to make public transportation a viable option for many Bay Area commuters who currently must drive, with average commute times ranging up to 2 hours in each direction.
