Top Priorities if Elected |
- Resolve BART parking with balanced access reflecting equity & our environment
- Work with communities for Sustainable Developments around BART stations
- Spend BART funds based on need; Seismic Retrofit, system rehab before Extensions

|
- Develop Environmentally sound sustainable BART access policies
-
Suburbanite's Primary access (75-82%) to BART is via the auto while SF has only 54 of BART's 41,666 spaces, more suburban parking will create a greater inequity. Auto access is environmentally unsound and not sustainable.
- Sustainable developments at BART Stations
-
BART should jointly plan and develop Sustainable Transit Oriented Developments (TOD) with communities along its current and future R/W. TODs increases BART ridership and fare recovery with more off-peak riders (a time when BART has lots of capacity) as well as reduce auto use, energy use, air pollution and improve our urban and social condition.
- Seismic Retrofit
-
If BART's needs are prioritized Seismic Retrofit should be the top capital item to implement.
