BART’s SOGR Status
• Held our own up to now Customer expectations high System resiliency/redundancy low
• 40-year old plant is decaying
• We operate at the limits of capacity to meet growing demand
• Increased service demand is consuming the assets
• Reduces asset useful life and pushes forward needed capital rehabilitation projects

It took three decades to recover.
BART: The Next 40 Years
BART Capacity Needs• Peak Direction Trains are getting too crowded
• Peak Morning Platform Escalator Queues at Embarcadero & Montgomery stations are getting too long
• Peak Afternoon Platforms are also getting too crowded
• Growth Scenarios:• At 500,000 riders, thresholds exceeded during delays• At 750,000 riders, thresholds exceeded during on-time service

BART: The Next 40 Years
Interim Access & Capacity Measures
Infrastructure• Reduce platform furniture footprint: benches, pay phones• High capacity elevators• Higher performance escalators• Platform screen doors• Street Escalator Canopies
System Management• Metering Measures: real time platform headcount system• Skip Stop Service: Montgomery has more capacity than
Embarcadero (New Years Eve Plan)• In Station Crowd Management (Giants Parade Day)• Transbay bus to Transbay Terminal
BART: The Next 40 Years
The Ultimate Solution: New Side Platforms

Total Estimated Construction Cost: $615 million (2009 dollars)Mission Critical Improvement as ridership starts to exceed 500,000 per weekday

Proposed Priorities for SF Funding
• San Francisco Stations State of Good Repair
• San Francisco Station Access Improvements
• San Francisco Stations Capacity Expansion
