Guest Speaker:
GAIL MURRAY,
President, BART Board of Directors
For 35 years, the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) provides safe, high quality and clean rapid transit service to Bay Area citizens. It is an attractive alternative to driving and has brought diverse neighborhoods together into one larger Bay Area community.

As BART records all-time highs in ridership in 2007 and system milestones, it faces tough issues such as projected operating financial deficits, equipment and infrastructure renovations, along with needed seismic, security, service and expansion upgrades. BART is also developing the Regional Rail Plan with MTC and Caltrain, with objectives that include integrating passenger rail systems and improving interfaces with connecting services to increase travel by transit. At this meeting, the newly elected BART Board of Director President will provide her insights to the agency’s past and present, and how BART is preparing to meet challenges of the future.
