In an effort to provide you with easy access to our new facility, there are several methods of transportation that you may consider as an option. To access our offices by public transportation, please try AC Transit bus lines along Broadway and 14th Streets. BART is also a convenient option, accessible via 12th Street BART station, near the Clorox Building. Parking is available at adjacent garages (such as at the Clay Street Garage) or along the street (which may/may not have parking meters).
