The total cost of the project was $232 million. Tempo was fare-free for the first 90 days of service fare collection started on November 9, 2020. Route 1T service began on August 9, 2020, with local route 1 eliminated. The service was branded Tempo in July 2020, with the service numbered 1T.

The project was funded by a mix of local, state, and federal funds major sources included Federal Transit Administration Small Starts (31%), Regional Measure 2 bridge tolls (24%), AC Transit (10%), and Alameda County Measure B/Measure BB sales tax (9.2%). Route 1 was changed to run only between Downtown Oakland and San Leandro station new routes 6 and 10 were created to serve the Downtown Oakland–Berkeley and San Leandro–Bay Fair segments. Route 1R was eliminated on Jto allow for construction. The southbound BRT platform at 19th Street under construction in April 2020 (That June, the center lanes had been further cut to Broadmoor Street near the Oakland/San Leandro border by the San Leandro city council. AC Transit approved this shorter alternative in April 2012, followed by the Oakland and San Leandro city councils that July. It also included a Downtown Oakland–San Leandro alternative to allow the project to proceed without the Berkeley and North Oakland section. The Final Environmental Impact Statement/Final Environmental Impact Report, released in January 2012, removed the center lanes south of Georgia Way in San Leandro. San Leandro also objected to center lanes on its portion of the line. Berkeley withdrew from the project in 2011. The city's preferred alternative, with curbside stops and no dedicated bus lanes, was not compatible with BRT service standards. In April 2010, the Berkeley City Council voted against the inclusion of center bus lanes over concerns about reducing Telegraph Avenue to a single general traffic lane in each direction. : S1 AC Transit later selected a combined service to San Leandro station as the Locally Preferred Alternative. The 2007 Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report considered whether to have Bay Fair or San Leandro as the southern terminus, and whether to have separate local and express services or a single combined service.
