BART IMPACT PROGRAM: THE IMPACT OF BART ON ECONOMICS AND FINANCE; INTERPRETIVE SUMMARY OF THE FINAL REPORT

The Bay Area Rapid Transit system is a commuter-oriented rail system that serves three counties on San Francisco Bay. A major element in the program was the Economics and Finance Project. It studied the impacts of the construction and operation of BART on the Bay Area's economy and public finance, and the impact of its transportation service on employment and regional economic development. This summary describes the Project's principal findings and conclusions, and discusses what the BART experience may mean for other metropolitan areas where similar rail transit systems are being planned or built.
