BART could close these 15 stations if new funding isn't secured BART officials warn that without a new revenue source, the agency may be forced to close 15 of its stations and reduce train frequency.

BART's plans would include service cuts, laying off 1,200 workers, and station closures if the @connectbayarea.bsky.social measure fails.

Gather signatures with us to make sure the measure gets on the ballot this November! luma.com/connectbayarea.

We had a great time getting signatures from San Francisco Chamber of Commerce members and talking with them about how their orgs can support our sig gathering campaign, at their CityBeat Breakfast.

Thank you, San Francisco Chamber of Commerce!

Buried deep in the contingency plan to slash costs at BART is an all-out nuclear scenario called β€œPhase 3”: Shut the rail system down altogether.

[If voters fail to support Connect Bay Area...] Within two years, BART’s stations would be empty, its track sitting idle.

BART’s cost-cutting plan risks a β€˜death spiral’ that could end all train service Hidden deep in the contingency plan to slash costs at BART if voters decline to bail out the rail agency is an all-out nuclear scenario called Phase 3: Shut the rail system down altogether.

The @sfchronicle.com reports that BART’s cost-cutting plan risks a β€˜death spiral’ that could end all train service if voters decline to fund public transit via the Connect Bay Area ballot measure in November.
