BART Public Participation Plan

In order to expand public access to our transportation decision-making process, BART initiated an intensive community involvement process and planning effort to develop a Public Participation Plan (PPP). The plan will guide BART's ongoing public involvement endeavors to ensure the most effective means of providing information and receiving public input on transportation issues, with particular emphasis on involving traditionally under-represented groups.


BART Title VI Fare Equity Analysis – Clipper BayPass

BART conducted a Title VI Fare Equity analysis of the proposed Clipper BayPass and Free & Discounted Transfers programs’ impacts on protected populations that reside within BART’s service area and those that would have access to the Clipper BayPass. Based on the results of this analysis, the Clipper BayPass was not found to have a disparate impact on minority populations or a disproportionate burden on low-income populations within the project study areas.

The Title VI Fare Equity Analysis – Clipper BayPass was approved by BART’s Board on September 26, 2024. 


Major Service Change Policy 

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Title VI Circular 4702.1B requires BART to evaluate whether planned “major service changes” will have a discriminatory impact. View the policy here.
 


Disparate Impact and Disproportionate Burden Policy
