After two tentative agreements were rejected by AC Transit unions and a Governor’s 60 day cooling-off period, AC Transit workers have voted to approve the latest negotiated contract.  The AC Transit Board of Directors is scheduled to finalize contract approval on January 8, 2014.

The wage increase was settled at 9.5% spread over 3 years and retroactive to October of 2013.  Employee contributions to their health care was reduced to $125 per month.

Piedmonters heavily use the P and C lines that provide direct service from Piedmont to San Francisco’s Transbay Terminal.  Also, popular with Piedmonters is the 11 line that originates in the Piedmont Civic Center at Highland Way on its way to downtown Oakland via Oakland and Harrison Avenues.
