	AC Transit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		AC Transit (in full, Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District) is a regional bus agency serving parts of Alameda County and Contra Costa County in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area.
		In addition, AC Transit runs "Transbay" routes across the San Francisco Bay to the city of San Francisco, and selected areas in San Mateo County and Santa Clara County.
		AC Transit also connects with Oakland International Airport and the University of California, Berkeley (where students have consistently voted to tax themselves, so their student ID works as an unlimited bus pass, even when school is not in session).

		AC Transit and BART should consider amending their contracts with ATC and the service providers to identify standards for on-time performance for both pickups and drop-offs for appointments that are consistent with those provided customers and used to measure performance.
		AC Transit managers indicated that they had no backup capacity in the form of drivers designated as “floaters.” In general, it appears that driver staffing appears adequate to serve the current number of assigned runs, and that in the current economic environment driver recruitment and retention do not appear to be a problem.
		AC Transit’s fleet is comprised of 41 accessible vans and Friendly’s fleet is comprised of 41 sedans.

		AC Transit states, however, that it never received the October 20, 1997, return notice, and therefore never responded. AC Transit also states that it never received a renewal notice for Station KBY756. The license for Station KBY756 expired on March 18, 1998, and was later deleted from the Commission’s licensing database.
		AC Transit’s December 16, 1998 Petition therefore is untimely, and is dismissed accordingly.
		AC Transit states that it never received any notice from the Commission prior to the expiration of its license for Station KBY756 on March 18, 1998, and did not receive, by mail, a renewal of license application. These circumstances, however, did not justify AC Transit’s failure to renew its license.

	Governor's budget cuts to AC Transit and BART
		Historically, the transit operators in California were exempt from property tax shifts since they were considered “essential services” that could not easily pass on their fare increases without a significant loss of ridership.
