Sustainability Challenge Promote Livability Renew and Clean Transit 4
BART Connects the Region 5
Current Travel Markets 2/3 of BART trips to/from Market Street stations East Bay Weekday Trips by Sub-Area 48%: Transbay 28%: intra-west Bay 24%: intra-east Bay Transbay West Bay 6

Optimize Ridership Expand travel markets where BART has ample capacity reverse commute regional sub-centers off-peak 11
Oakland a regional destination Opportunities Walkable grid Supportive zoning Sustainable transportation: o 3 downtown BART stations o AC Transit o Capitol Corridor Challenges Safety (perception + reality) Market demand Small parcels Last mile connectivity 12
Sustainability at BART Reinvestment 13
Critical Reinvestment Needs After 40 years, reinvestment and upgrades are vital 10 year need of $6 billion Big 3 investments: Fleet of the Future: 1,000 Rail Cars Train Control System Modernization Hayward Maintenance Complex Other key investments: State of Good Repair Capacity Stations 14
Regional Impacts of Not Reinvesting? 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 15
Without Increased Investments, Condition of Assets Will Decline Good 31% Fair 35% Poor 34% Good 1% Fair 35% Poor 64% Today: 34 % of BART assets are rated Poor" and will cost $6 Billion to Fix In 10 Years: 64 % of BART assets will be rated Poor and will cost $12.4 Billion to Fix The longer we wait the higher the risk and expense 16
BART Is Already Reinvesting New seats Demonstration stations with upgraded signage, lighting, landscaping and station entrances Switch gears and track replacement. 17
BART Board Actions Feb. 2013 Extended CPI-based fare increase program bi-annually through 2020. Dedicated towards Big 3 capital priorities: Fleet of the Future: Rail Cars Hayward Maintenance Complex Train Control Modernization Generates estimated $325 M over 8 year program. 18
BART Board Actions Feb. 2013 Demand-based parking program expanded to East Bay. Dedicated toward critical station investments: Access Rehabilitation Modernization Generates an additional $10 M annually. Need exceeds resources. 19
Building the Fleet of the Future Extensive public outreach Improved customer experience Quieter (interior + exterior) Modern seating styles Better quality, automated communications Exterior color-coded destinations signs Car # Total Current Fleet (100%) 669 - Awarded 410 $1.4 B Total w/ Option 775 $2.6 B Total Need (2020-2030) 1,000 $3.3 B 20
Synergies: Fleet of the Future State of Good Repair Replace aging fleet 30+ years average age Oldest fleet in country Already refurbished once Capacity 3-doors reduce dwell time More room for luggage, strollers, wheelchairs, and bikes Sustainability 5% more efficient (per spec.) Improved customer experience 21
