The FY15 Preliminary Budget reflects our commitment to rebuilding the District’s aging infrastructure, rebuilding relationships with employees, and rebuilding the confidence of our riders and the public in BART. As the region becomes ever more reliant on BART, our success in these areas is essential in order to continue to provide the dependable, on-time service the region needs. Over the last year, along with meeting significant challenges, the District made substantial progress in the following areas: • To address its most critical replacement need, the District awarded contracts for 775 new rail cars, in cooperation with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). Public input is being gathered on a new railcar “mock-up,” and the first “pilot” railcars are scheduled to be delivered in 2017. • To generate revenue for major capital projects, the Board renewed the Consumer Price Index (CPI)-based fare increase policy until 2020.
