Title VI

Title VI

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs that receive federal funding. BART is committed to complying with the requirements of Title VI in all of its federally funded programs and activities. BART is required to submit a Title VI Civil Rights Program to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) every three years. The Title VI Program documents that services and benefits are provided in a nondiscriminatory basis and must be approved by BART’s Board of Directors prior to submission to FTA.

Warm Springs Extension Title VI Equity Analysis and Public Participation Report

The Warm Springs Extension (Project) will add 5.4-miles of new track from the existing Fremont Station south to a new station in the Warm Springs district of the City of Fremont, extending BART’s service in southern Alameda County. For more information on the Project please visit the Warm Springs Extension project page.

The attached Warm Springs Extension Title VI Equity Analysis and Public Participation Report, approved by the BART Board on May 14, 2015, conforms with the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Title VI Circular and finds that the Project's proposed service and fare plan will not result in a disparate impact on minority populations or a disproportionate burden on low-income populations based on BART’s Disparate Impact and Disproportionate Burden Policy (DI/DB Policy). The attached Final DI.DB Policy.pdf was adopted by the BART Board on July 11, 2013.

Below-Inflation Fare Increase to Fund Capital Priorities Scheduled for January 2016 Spanish (En Español) ● Chinese (在中文)

BART has a program of small regular fare increases to generate revenue to help fund the system’s extensive capital needs, with the next increase scheduled for January 1, 2016. The increase amount is determined by averaging national and local inflation over a two-year period and then subtracting 0.5% to account for BART’s productivity improvements. This calculation results in a 2016 fare increase of 3.4%, with fares rounded to the nearest nickel. All new revenue from the fare increase goes to BART’s highest priority capital needs including new rail cars, an automated train control system, and an expanded maintenance facility.

Below are some examples of current fares and fares effective next January:

Please see below for more information on BART’s capital needs and productivity-adjusted inflation-based fare increase program see below.
