As gas prices continue to place pressure on daily commuters across the Bay Area, the San Leandro LINKS Shuttle offers a practical, cost-free alternative that directly addresses one of the most persistent challenges facing workers today, the rising cost of getting to work.

Designed as a first/last-mile connection between the San Leandro BART Station and major employment centers in West San Leandro, the LINKS Shuttle eliminates the need for daily car trips, fuel expenses, and parking costs. For commuters making multiple trips per week, the savings can be substantial, especially when gasoline prices fluctuate unpredictably. By offering a completely free ride, LINKS provides a stable transportation option in an otherwise volatile cost environment.

Operating on a reliable weekday schedule with frequent service during peak commute hours, the shuttle ensures that riders can plan their trips with confidence. Morning service runs from 5:45 AM to 10:30 AM, and afternoon service operates from 3:00 PM to 7:20 PM, making it easy to connect to regional transit without relying on a personal vehicle.

Beyond individual savings, the program also delivers broader community benefits by reducing roadway congestion and lowering emissions associated with single-occupancy vehicle trips. Supported through a collaborative funding model, including a Business Improvement District, the City of San Leandro, TFCA Clean Air Funds from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, and contributions administered by the Alameda County Transportation Commission, the shuttle reflects a shared investment in more sustainable commuting options.

In an era of rising fuel costs, LINKS stands out as a dependable, cost-saving solution that keeps San Leandro moving.
