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

New York MTA in the 1970s

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

BART Metro Service Plan: 30 Peak Hour Transbay Trains

BART Metro Service Plan:Enhanced Evening/Weekend Service

Proposed Priorities for SF Funding

• San Francisco Stations State of Good Repair

• San Francisco Station Access Improvements

• San Francisco Stations Capacity Expansion
