Strategic Plan
In 1999 the Board of Directors adopted the BART Strategic Plan (.pdf) to guide BART into the 21st Century. In the Fall of 2001, the Board conducted a series of working sessions to review the Strategic Plan, which resulted in a renewed commitment and a more fine-tuned plan with added new focus on implementation. The renewed BART strategy is built on a clear mission and vision of our role in Bay Area transit. In brief, our aim is to provide safe, clean, reliable and customer friendly rapid transit service, and to be both an effective leader and partner in efforts to improve seamless delivery of public transportation services. Our plan focuses on seven key issues that are central to this mission, and identifies goals in each of these areas. At the heart of the plan is a new emphasis on both internal and external collaboration to reach critical goals more quickly. The plan also includes strategic initiatives – both policies and programs – that have multiple links to these seven focus areas and are aimed at providing definitive strategies for Strategic Plan implementation.
Strategic Plan Status Report
The Strategic Plan Status Report (.pdf) details the Strategic Plan’s ongoing role in the District, by highlighting accomplishments and providing a snapshot of progress over the past couple of years for each focus area and strategic initiative. The Status Report concludes with a “Key Indicators” summary; an overview of BART system characteristics; and performance, past and future.
Policies
BART Policies offer guidance in important areas of long-term concern to the agency. Each policy has been adopted by the Board of Directors, and provides overall guidance for decision making on complex or controversial issues. A policy is designed to provide guidance in turbulent as well as sanguine times.
