CiTY OF SAN LEANDRO BiCYCLE & PEDESTRiAN MASTER PLAN ~ 151 <br />Safe Routes to Transit <br />A Links Shuttle leaving San Leandro BART. <br />Safe Routes to Transit (SR2T), although similar in name, has a narrower focus <br />than its sister Safe Routes to School program. SR2T provides funding for <br />programs and infrastructure projects that facilitate walking and bicycling <br />access to transit. SR2T was funded by Regional Measure ii . SR2T funds can <br />be used to help cities and transit agencies close the first-last gap, using active <br />or shared (bike share) forms of transportation. <br />The City of San Leandro, in partnership with BART, has previously been <br />awarded two competitive grants for pedestrian and bicycle station access <br />improvement projects. These projects included the Bay Fair BART Station <br />Area improvement Plan (2007) and Downtown San Leandro BART Pedestrian <br />and Bicycle Access Project (2009). As transit access improvement needs arise, <br />the City should continue to pursue SR2T funds through partnerships with <br />BART and transit operators such as AC Transit. <br />Currently, the City is in the middle of developing a Transit-Oriented <br />Development (TOD) Plan for the Bay Fair area. This plan will include active <br />transportation improvements to increase the accessibility and safety of routes <br />to and from Bay Fair BART, the shopping center, and any current/future <br />developments. <br />The following pages display maps of the recommended bikeway network <br />improvements, focused around San Leandro's two BART Stations. <br />This bicycling wayfinding sign from Oakland directs riders to the closest BART Station. <br />289
