To help alleviate crowding on shuttle buses in the morning, drivers of Potter St. vans have been instructed to make pick-ups of passengers along Hearst Ave. who were unable to board already full Blue route buses. Riders are asked to wave clearly to the van drivers so they know to make a pick up. Van passengers can be dropped off at the Bldg. 65 or 90 stops.

New Safety Campaign Reminds Riders: Buckle-Up!
Tuesday, March 13th, 2012
You may notice something new at your feet as you wait for a Berkeley Lab shuttle bus. All around the Lab, brightly painted signs on the pavement remind riders to “Buckle-Up!” while riding the shuttles. Soon you’ll see posters and stickers–part of a new EH&S campaign reminding riders to use seat belts on the shuttles. A tragic collision in San Francisco last year, in which a passenger was killed after being thrown from a UCSF shuttle bus, underscores the importance of wearing a seat belt. While that shuttle did not have seat belts, all Berkeley Lab shuttles do, and you are asked to “click it” while on board. For tips on traveling around the Lab – whether on foot, by bike, in a car, or on the shuttle – check out the new “Ride Safely” Web site. While you’re there, complete the EH&S shuttle seat-belt survey and you’ll be automatically entered in a drawing to win one of 25 Bay View Café coupons (worth $8). EH&S encourages everyone to think of safety first as you move around the Lab.
