Expand travel markets where BART has ample capacity • reverse commute • regional sub-centers• off-peak


Optimize Ridership

Oakland – a regional destination

Opportunities• Walkable grid• Supportive zoning• Sustainable transportation:

o 3 downtown BART stationso AC Transito Capitol Corridor

Challenges• Safety (perception + reality)• Market demand• Small parcels• Last mile connectivity

Sustainability at BART

Reinvestment

13

After 40 years, reinvestment and upgrades are vital 10 year need of $6 billionBig 3 investments:

Fleet of the Future: 1,000 Rail CarsTrain Control System ModernizationHayward Maintenance Complex

Other key investments:State of Good RepairCapacityStations


Critical Reinvestment Needs

14

UC Berkeley / Bay Area Council study

If performance declines, what are the consequences for ridership and for the region?

Need to reinvest $500+ M / annually

Failure to reinvest - net regional economic loss:

$22 - 33 Billion


Regional Impacts of Not Reinvesting?

Today:34 % of BART assets are rated “Poor" and will cost

The longer we wait…the higher the risk and expense


BART Is Already Reinvesting

New seats

Demonstration stations with upgraded signage, lighting, landscaping and station entrances

Switch gears and track replacement.
