BART - Projects

The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) projects that by 2035 the population of the entire Bay Area will be 34% higher than 2000 census figures — with more than 2 million additional residents and nearly 1.5 million more jobs. BART continues to move forward with new projects that will serve our growing region.

Livermore Extension

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) released a Draft Program Environmental Impact Report (DPEIR) on November 5, 2009 for enhanced rail service in eastern Alameda County. Service is proposed to follow an alignment originating in the Interstate 580 median, at the existing Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station, traveling eastward, to the City of Livermore through the Tri‑Valley. Nine different alignment, station, and maintenance facility combinations have been defined and are analyzed in the DPEIR. Information relating to the DPEIR, public hearings and comments can be found on the BART to Livermore Program EIR website: www.barttolivermore.org.
