  • 2015 Station Profiles
    2015 BART Station Profile Study Station Profiles – Non-Home Origins STATION PROFILES – NON-HOME ORIGINS This section contains a summary sheet for selected BART stations, based on data from customers who travel to the station from non-home origins, like work, school, etc. The selected stations listed below have a sample size of at least 200 non-home origin trips: • 12th St. / Oakland City Center • Glen Park • 16th St. Mission • Hayward • 19th St. / Oakland • Lake Merritt • 24th St. Mission • MacArthur • Ashby • Millbrae • Balboa Park • Montgomery St. • Civic Center / UN Plaza • North Berkeley • Coliseum • Oakland International Airport (OAK) • Concord • Powell St. • Daly City • Rockridge • Downtown Berkeley • San Bruno • Dublin / Pleasanton • San Francisco International Airport (SFO) • Embarcadero • San Leandro • Fremont • Walnut Creek • Fruitvale • West Dublin / Pleasanton Maps for these stations are contained in separate PDF files at www.bart.gov/stationprofile. The maps depict non-home origin points of customers who use each station, and the points are color coded by mode of access. The points are weighted to reflect average weekday ridership at the station. For example, an origin point with a weight of seven will appear on the map as seven points, scattered around the actual point of origin. Note that the number of trips may appear underrepresented in cases where multiple trips originate at the same location. The following summary sheets contain basic information about each station’s weekday non-home origin trips, such as: • absolute number of entries and estimated non-home origin entries • access mode share • trip origin types • customer demographics. Additionally, the total number of car and bicycle parking spaces at each station are included for context.

Here's where the VTA, BART staffs collided head-on over San Jose's subway (Silicon Valley Business Journal) 2. Roadshow: Lawsuit means delays on Measure B projects (Mercury News) 3. Palo Alto subsidized public transit (KCBS Radio) Here's where the VTA, BART staffs collided head-on over San Jose's subway (Silicon Valley Business Journal) The staffs of the two transportation agencies involved in San Jose’s planned downtown subway came together in public for the first time Friday over the issue of what kind of tunnel should be built. It was a head-on collision at the VTA board's BART extension workshop. The question now is whether the Valley Transportation Authority and BART can resolve their differences over the single-bore/twin-bore issue within what already was a tight timeline for federal approval and not delay the project. "I was disappointed," said VTA board chair Jeannie Bruins of Los Altos. "Having worked in high tech, I have to say that when you have major projects, it's hard to move past talking at each other and moving to talking with each other. I'm hoping that having had the forum today, we're all motivated to start working with one another a little more closely." Members of both transit agencies staffs traveled jointly to Barcelona, Spain, in July to see the world's only operational single-bore subway line.
