Regional Transportation Projects
Below is a list of links to regional transportation projects that could have impact on local traffic.
East Bay Greenway – Lake Merritt BART to South Hayward BART (Alameda County Transportation Commission)
The Project proposes to construct a bicycle and pedestrian facility that will generally follow the BART alignment for a distance of 16 miles and traverse the cities of Oakland, San Leandro, and Hayward as well as the unincorporated communities of Ashland and Cherryland. The Project connects seven BART stations as well as downtown areas, schools, and other major destinations.

I-880 Interchange Improvements - Whipple Road/Industrial Parkway Southwest and Industrial Parkway (Alameda County Transportation Commission)
The I-880 Interchange Improvements Project (project) aims to improve traffic operations and safety at the I-880/Whipple Road-Industrial Parkway Southwest and I-880/Industrial Parkway West interchanges by improving accessibility and enhancing mobility to the City of Hayward Industrial Technology and Innovation (ITI) Corridor. The project would include interchange on-and off-ramp reconfigurations, modifications and/or replacement of bridge structures, local roadway realignments and restriping, and bicycle and pedestrian improvements in the cities of Hayward and Union City, in Alameda County. The project is currently in the preliminary engineering/environmental phase.

Rail Safety Enhancement Program - Provide safe at-grade crossings for all users, particularly near schools, Priority Development Areas and Equity Priority Communities
Development of the RSEP is split into three phases—RSEP-A, RSEP-B and RSEP-C—to achieve the project goals and construct improvements in a three to five-year timeframe. A prioritization framework for the at-grade crossings was approved by the Alameda County Transportation Commission in 2018 as part of the Rail Strategy Study that narrowed the 133 at-grade crossing locations in Alameda County to 56 locations.

South Bay Connect - Project would eliminate the Capitol Corridor rails service's Hayward station
South Bay Connect proposes to relocate Capitol Corridor passenger rail service to the existing Union Pacific Railroad Coast Subdivision between Oakland and Newark, which is a more efficient and reliable passenger rail route. The proposed Project also includes constructing a new passenger rail station at the existing Ardenwood Park-and-Ride on the Coast Subdivision to serve southern Alameda County passengers and create new transbay transit connections to the San Francisco Peninsula. As well as eliminating the Hayward station.
