BART will be able to maintain its current service level through at least mid-2025 due to federal emergency funds, even if its ridership remains flat, according to the transit agency's budget officials.
OAKLAND – BART will be able to maintain its current service level through at least mid-2025 due to federal emergency funds, even if its ridership remains flat, according to the transit agency’s budget officials.
“Though this one-time funding will not solve our long-term ongoing financial deficit … we do want to emphasize how grateful we are for this continued and necessary financial support,” BART Budget Director Chris Simi told the agency’s Board of Directors. As a result, the agency is projected for annual deficits ranging between $112 million and $174 million at the end of the decade and at the start of the 2030s.
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission has also considered a funding measure that would support transit agencies in all nine Bay Area counties.
