This is the only Sustainable Conference Travel program of its type. It makes it easier to get a ticket without using a ticket machine or waiting in line. Just buy it online, exchange the voucher for a ticket, enter the station and board the train for the 30-minute ride to San Francisco. No hassle, no traffic and no waiting. © BART 2018; © Felicia Kieselhorst (2) HOW IT WORKS BART staff develops “Sustainable Transfer” information specifically tailored to your needs that includes a private “branded” URL/link, to be prominently placed in the Transportation section of your convention website. Your “branded” URL/link connects to our SFO Voucher purchase page, where our BART SFO ticket voucher can be purchased. 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. The BART trip from SFO to San Francisco also saves 10 pounds of carbon offsets per passenger trip. WHAT YOU GET The BART Sustainable Convention Travel program includes the following benefits: • BART marketing support features custom copy that includes directions to conference hotels, a “BART Downtown San Francisco Hotels” map for your site, and custom copy formats to help you support and promote the use of BART transfers for the convention. The copy can be used to facilitate promotion through blast emails, Twitter or other social media. • Custom Private BART Transfer Booking Page includes your conference logo and conference dates, plus two to three BART fare products designed to meet the transportation needs of your attendees. • “BART Sustainable Travel Conference” designation includes: SFO Transfers Booking Site Carbon Savings; BART Ridership Carbon Savings Report (large conferences); BART Social Media CO2 Tracker (optional) • For more information meeting planners should contact: Imara Yokely, iyokely@bart.gov sftravel.com
