Candidate for
Director; San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District; District 3

Provide a cost-effective, socially equitable, safe, clean, accessible, reliable, and customer friendly system.

BART has rebuilt its worn aging system resulting in an award of "Best Transit System in America". To attain a reliable, and customer friendly system BART also needs to rebuild for earthquake resistance that shows dire result if we do not. BART should integrate Land Use to development that increases non-polluting access and improve our environment and livability.

Promote readily accessible, environmentally orientated developments, which will add to the quality of life and economic prosperity

Many claim BART reduces congestion and improves our environment but is this true? Do we consider social equity, its cost to build and operate, and quality of life created by BART extensions? Based on my extensive reviews of BART's Environment Impact Reports I made, well received by public interest groups, I submitted them to BART Board and Staff that they did not acknowledge.

Improve BART using developed technologies, assess its use using performance measures while increasing ridership in an efficient and cost effectiveness

BART has improved systemwide with less breakdowns and more reliability because we incorporated many parts with developed technology that I am familiar with. BART can make further improvements for efficiency, reliability and reduce operational costs 40-50%, as well as increase capacity and provide seamless transfers between transit systems using developed technology, which I am also familiar with.
