Small businesses include Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, Disadvantage Veteran Business Enterprises, Minority-Owned Business Enterprises, Women-Owned Business Enterprises and Micro Small Business Entities.
The BAC currently consists of 14 members representing the small business community covering geographical areas of the District’s service area as well as representation from the following industries: professional services, architecture and engineering, procurement and construction.
Committee members serve a two-year period, on staggered terms. Meetings are typically held once every other month from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in-person at BART Headquarters in Oakland with the option to join virtually (via Zoom).
Members are involved in providing valuable feedback on District contracting, services and procurement policies, programs and practices.
