Transportation & Parking

Like many parts of Berkeley, street parking near RBI is limited.  The following plan outlines guidelines for transportation to support an easeful experience for RBI visitors while respecting the needs of our resident neighbors.

Guest are highly encouraged to arrive car-free, and enjoy a walk to a local cafe or waterfront park on your breaktimes.  Plan your trip here with public transportation or consider the following:

    1. Bicycle or Scooter. There are many bike friendly roads and dedicated bike lanes in West Berkeley, and designated bicycle parking just outside of our entrance doors. Learn more about bike and scooter shares
    2. Bus. The following bus lines are within a few blocks
      1. Line 36: 7th Street & Dwight Way (3 blocks away)
      2. Lines 72, 72M & 802: San Pablo & Bancroft Way (5 blocks away)
    3. BART.  North Berkeley Station is 1.3 miles from RBI. Combine with bike-or-scooter-share, ride service, bus or walk. 
    4. Capital Corridor Train.  CC Berkeley train stop is 6 blocks away, service every hour on weekdays.

If you need to arrive by  car, park west of 6th Street, where more street parking is available. No guest parking is allowed on 7th St, 8th St, or 9th St, or on Bancroft east of 6th St – this is in care of our residential neighbors. Anyone reported parking east of 6th St will be asked to pay a $40 fine towards RBI’s fund for bikeeastbay.org.  See map below for details.

Thank you for your cooperation and care for local residents and our RBI community at large!
