BART 12th St. Station to 1111 Franklin St.:
The Bay Area Rapid Transit system operates rail and express bus services in the San Francisco and East Bay Area. Trains leave about every 15 minutes. The closest BART stop is the 12th Street / Oakland City Center station on Broadway between 11th and 12th Streets. From inside the station, take the 11th & Broadway exit (the one on your left as you exit). Upon exiting, you will be at the corner of 11th Street and Broadway, with 12th Street behind you. The UCOP building is in the block between 11th and 12th Streets, and there is a walkway in the middle of the Broadway block which provides an entrance to the building. If this entry is closed (due to construction in the surrounding area), return to 11th Street, turn left onto 11th and walk one block to Franklin Street. Turn left on Franklin and enter the building via the main entrance at 1111 Franklin Street.
