BART’S SUSTAINABLE CONVENTION TRAVEL PROGRAM OFFERS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL OPTIONS FOR SAN FRANCISCO CONVENTIONS AND MEETINGS. THIS PROGRAM ESTABLISHES A PLATFORM THAT FACILITATES THE USE OF BART’S ECO-FRIENDLY, SUSTAINABLE SFO TRANSFERS BY CONVENTION STAFFS AND ATTENDEES. Incorporating it into your program allows your members/attendees to purchase a BART voucher in advance through your website. The voucher is printed and exchanged for a BART ticket upon arrival at SFO. Once the ticket is in hand, attendees board the train and arrives downtown in 30 minutes. The program provides sustainable, ecofriendly travel from SFO to San Francisco and saves 10 pounds of carbon offsets per passenger trip. HOW IT WORKS We provide you with a “unique” URL/link for your conference website. This URL/link connects to our SFO Voucher Transfer product purchase page. Then we develop “Sustainable Transfer” information specifically tailored to your needs that includes the URL/link, to be prominently placed in the appropriate section of your convention website. Your attendees connect to BART from this page to purchase their BART SFO transfer. In addition, your URL/link allows us to track your conference’s “Sustainable Convention Travel” carbon savings. The program is easy, fast and convenient for you and your members.
