BART to offer customized station-by-station elevator alerts and new daily digest

 

 

Starting later this month, BART will roll out an improved elevator alert system that is customizable to include only the stations riders care about.

Riders already are able to sign up for different kinds of advisories to be sent to them via email or text; however, there was no way to sign up for info about the elevators at only specific stations (such as one’s departure and arrival station). That meant getting a lot more elevator messages than most people needed or wanted.

These new customized alerts will start June 30th but you can sign up for the stations you want now.  If you receive the current elevator alerts, you MUST sign up for the new station specific alerts by July 31, 2017, when the legacy system will be discontinued. If you would still like to receive alerts for all stations, you can select every station. 

In addition to the individual station alerts, starting June 30, 2017, BART will also offer a new daily digest of elevator outages at 6 am each day via email. Read all about it and sign up for the alerts you want at www.bart.gov/alerts  

An example of what the station-by-station subscription signup looks like, see the image below.
