Both Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and AC Transit serve the Oakland City Center area along Broadway. The Franklin Building may be accessed from Broadway via a walkway about halfway between 11th and 12th Streets, close to the historic Key Building.

Shuttles from Airports:
Many shuttle companies (Bayporter Express, East Bay Connection, Bay Shuttle, RBJ Airporter) operate from both Oakland International Airport and San Francisco International Airport and charge reasonable rates for round trips and for riders sharing shuttles with other passengers. Companies change ownership and fares; therefore, it is advisable to contact your travel agent or an airlines/airport Web site for telephone numbers and information, including reservations and rates. Unreserved shuttles from several of these companies may also be found outside terminals at ground transportation (ask someone for directions on the way out), circling the airport every 10-15 minutes. An attendant/dispatcher with a hand phone is usually at the shuttle "island" to contact shuttle drivers and group together passengers who are traveling in the same direction.

BART from the Airports:

Oakland International Airport
Buses (AIRBART shuttle) run from Oakland International Airport to the Coliseum BART station, every 10 minutes. Fare is $2.; exact change is required for the ticket machine located inside the terminal, to one side of the doorway leading out to ground transportation. The bus stop is outside the main terminal at a center "island." At the Coliseum stop, switch to BART. Ticket machines inside the BART station post the fare to Oakland City Center-12th Street stop, nearest the Franklin Street building. You will need change and $1 bills. Purchase ticket, insert in turnstile; remove and save ticket to exit at Oakland City Center-12th Street stop from either a Richmond- or Pittsburg/Bay Point-bound train.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Bus-BART from SFO is not recommended because of time and delays. (Round-trip on a shuttle is more convenient.)

SamTrans--From SFO take SamTrans 3X bus to Colma BART station. Purchase ticket, insert in turnstile; remove and save ticket to exit (at Oakland City Center-12th Street stop) from either a Richmond- or Pittsburg/Bay Point-bound train. Both trains stop at 12th Street in Oakland.

BART stop at Oakland City Center-12th Street in Oakland
Inside the BART station at Oakland City Center-12th Street stop, walk toward 11th Street. Exit by ticket through the turnstile. Take stairs or escalators toward the 11th Street exits.

Once on Broadway, the walkway is a few feet from the BART entrance/exit, next to the historic building.

There is also elevator service between the West side of Broadway and 11th Streets and the BART station.

Note: During renovations of the historic building, and construction of a new hotel, you may need to exit at a different exit on the other side of Broadway. The back door of the Franklin Street building is closed, and the sidewalks are closed and fenced, so you will need to cross Broadway and walk up the opposite side of 11th Street to cross over to UCOP.
