BART Metro: 2030 and Beyond Study

The BART Metro 2030 and Beyond study evaluated future service ideas that account for exciting upgrades that are currently underway or planned at BART.

The study developed a list of improvements that would support implementation of those service concepts in the mid- and long-term.
