BART IMPACT PROGRAM: METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH FOR DEFINING THE GENERALIZED NO-BART ALTERNATIVE (GNBA)

The Generalized No-BART Alternative is the hypothetical transportation system judged most likely to have resulted in the Bay Area in FY 1976 if BART had not come into existence. The purpose of the paper is to explain how MTC intends to define the GNBA and the role to be played in the process by findings from the decision history of BART. It is structured in three parts: (1) Introduction to basic concepts and criteria; (2) overview of methodological approach and guidelines for implementation; and (3) application of criteria for defining the GNBA.
