Measure RR was passed in November 2016 with over 2/3 of the vote in BART's three-county District. Read the cost details, the bond resolution passed by our board, and the bond tax rate statement. 

In 2017 we established an independent Bond Oversight Committee (BOC) to verify BART spends the bond revenues as promised. It is comprised of seven members who represent a diversity of expertise, geography and demographic characteristics. The duties and responsibilities of the BOC are to: provide diligent, independent and public oversight over the expenditure of funds from the sale of District general obligation bonds; assess how bond proceeds are spent to ensure that all spending is authorized by the ballot measure; assess whether projects funded by bond proceeds are completed in a timely, cost-effective and quality manner consistent with the best interest of BART riders and District residents; and publish an annual report that includes a detailed account of the Committee’s activities including its expenditures.

The Measure RR Bond Oversight Committee has produced several reports examining the progress of BART’s rebuilding program. The committee has published annual reports for 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021. They are all full of information about how Measure RR is Building a Better BART.
