"The BART" instead of BART. Only an outsider would say "I'm going to ride the BART." A local would say, "I'm going to ride BART."

Ridership growth is only part of the solution to BART’s significant financial crisis. To close BART’s $375 million deficit with only fare revenue, current ridership levels would need to more than double.

At 10:16am, BART staff will trigger our ShakeAlert early warning earthquake system to ensure it's working correctly.

Trains will automatically slow down to 27mph before coming to a very brief stop. We’ll also make a systemwide public announcement encouraging riders to be prepared for earthquakes.

When will Caltrans start adding time via transit to their freeway signs? ⏳

Take transit.

It’s safer, better for the environment and it will support our ability to fund service and make improvements.

These folks were smart and headed to Walnut Creek BART Station instead of driving.

More riders = more investments into service delivery and innovation.

Take BART to Dreamforce next week and use Tap and Ride! Riders can pay adult fares at BART fare gates using physical contactless credit or debit cards or mobile payment methods, such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. Use BART's Trip Planner for detailed routes and transit options.

BART is also grateful to Senators Scott Wiener and Jesse Arreguín for championing this legislation and their fierce advocacy for transit funding.

BART will continue to identify additional cost savings and efficiencies to address our deficit, and we welcome the enhanced accountability measures and financial efficiency review included in SB 63.

Before measure funds become available, BART will rely on internal cuts, efficiency measures, and a series of one-time solutions to pay for operations.

The BART Board of Directors supported SB 63 because it will cover a significant portion of BART’s operating deficit and allow us to maintain current service levels and improve the rider experience.

A regional transportation funding measure would provide a reliable funding source for BART and other agencies to address deficits caused by remote work.

SB 63 is a historic opportunity to allow voters in five counties of the Bay Area to consider a sales tax measure in November 2026 aimed at preserving and improving transit.

BART is grateful to Governor Newsom for signing Senate Bill (SB) 63 into law. The Governor has been a steadfast advocate of transit and BART specifically, recognizing our role in moving the region and strengthening the economy.
