Budget Prioritizes Safety, Service Reliability, and Passenger Amenities
BART’s Fiscal Year ‘15 operating and capital budget totaling $1.56 billion that prioritizes safety, passenger needs, system reinvestment, and on-time performance took effect today.
“The centerpiece of this budget is the increased investment in safety-related measures for both our riders and our employees,” said BART Board President Joel Keller. “This budget will give passengers increased service during the peak Monday-Friday commute and weekends, cleaner and brighter stations, modern signage, better station access, and additional secure bike parking. It also continues our dedication to addressing increased capacity while reinvesting in the original aging system.”
