Alameda County

Alameda County is a jurisdiction of 1.7 million anchoring the East Bay — governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors delivering public health, social services, courts, and regional infrastructure across 14 cities from Oakland and Berkeley to Fremont and Livermore, spanning bay shoreline to the Tri-Valley.

CivicCause organizes county meetings, issues, elections, public activity, and regional context so residents can follow what is happening across the county without losing the local thread.

City Hubs

The City of Hayward's AC Transit Interagency Liaison Committee will meet on August 21, 2026, to discuss high-impact infrastructure projects affecting regional transit. The meeting will include updates on roadway and streetscaping projects, new development, and bus stop improvements. Public comment is expected, providing residents a chance to share input on transit priorities and local infrastructure plans.

Separately, Tri-Valley students in Alameda County can now apply for free bus rides on Wheels and discounted BART fares through the county’s Student Transit Pass Program, now in its 11th year. This program supports student access to transit across the county. Residents following transit and infrastructure issues should watch the Hayward committee meeting next week for decisions that could affect bus service and street improvements in the area.
