Transportation & Site Access

Access to LBNL Site

EBSS participants will be added to the site access list for the duration of the school. You will be able to board the shuttle buses (both regular and EBSS special) or present yourself at LBNL Blackberry Gate with a valid photo ID.

To expedite entry at the gate, access passes containing a QR code have been emailed to all participants. If you have not received yours, please check your spam or junk folder for a message from noreply AT veoci DOT com.

Please note that your ID must satisfy REAL ID requirements (passports are accepted).

LBNL Shuttle - Special EBSS Service

Each morning, a dedicated LBNL shuttle will transport students from the Clark Kerr Campus to LBNL Building 15, where lectures will take place. In the afternoon, the shuttle will return students from LBNL Building 88 to the Clark Kerr Campus.

Morning Pickup: 8:00 AM at the Horseshoe Driveway (link for map), Clark Kerr Campus (near Building 2 and the front desk).
Evening Pickup: 6:00 PM at LBNL Building 88.

Please note that we plan to walk downhill from Building 15 to Building 88 for the hands-on activities. If you have any mobility restrictions, kindly inform the organizers so that appropriate arrangements can be made for you.

LBNL Shuttle - Regular Routes

A regular shuttle service connects various locations in Berkeley to LBNL, operating along several different routes throughout the day. Maps of all shuttle routes can be found here and real time schedule and tracking can be found at Tripshot (select route on the left and click “timetable” at the top). Note that there is no weekend service.

When getting on the shuttle bus from outside of the lab, please present your access pass to the shuttle bus driver along with your photo ID. If you take the shuttle bus up to the lab to building 15 (lectures), you can ask the shuttle bus driver to let you off at the ALS / Building 53 stop. From there walk around the ALS building to reach building 15.

Suggested routes from offsite locations:

From Clark Kerr Campus: Rockridge route - suggested bus stop at Warring St with Parker St (link to map), runs every hour in the morning, reaching CKC at around a quarter past the hour. Last bus at around 11:15 am.

Transportation from SFO/OAK to Berkeley

LBNL and Berkeley are easily accessible via public transit or rental car from two major international airports: San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Oakland International Airport (OAK)

From both of these area airports it is a < 1 hour drive to reach Berkeley by car. Alternatively, the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) offers a convenient public transit option directly from both SFO and OAK to the Downtown Berkeley Station, which is within a short Uber/Lyft ride of LBNL or Clark Kerr Campus.

UCPD Safewalk Program

Safewalk is a student-run operation that helps organize a team of Community Service Officers (CSOs) through the University of California Police Department to safely escort students to their desired location late at night. This service is available to guests staying at Clark Kerr while they are on campus.
