IMPLICATIONS OF BART'S ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS FOR THE TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED

This is the first of four interim reports to be developed by the Implications for the Transportation Disadvantaged (ITD) Project of the BART Impact Program (BIP). This report focuses on the environmental impacts of BART's construction and operations on the transportation disadvantaged. The special population groups included in the analyses in this report are ethnic minorities (Black, Spanish heritage, Asians and others), the elderly, and the handicapped. Six issues related to possible environmental impacts of the construction or operation of the BART system for the transportation disadvantaged are examined. Information developed in the major project areas of the BIP is applied in the investigation of each issue. (Color illustrations reproduced in black and white)
