The eBART project has now entered an implementation phase in cooperation with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA), and Caltrans. Both the funding and physical work is involved with this interagency cooperation.
The efforts by CCTA and Caltrans to increase the capacity of State Route 4 (SR 4) will now include construction of a median that will accommodate the transit guideway. The Caltrans construction contracts will include the main guideway construction. BART anticipates it will employ five contracts to implement the project as follows:
