On Wednesday, Nov. 20, 5pm to 6:30pm, BART’s Sustainability Department invites the public to join a virtual community meeting for updates on BART’s sustainability progress and to share their thoughts and priorities moving forward.
To receive the meeting Zoom link, register by clicking here or scanning the QR code on the flyer below.
The meeting will gather perspectives and ideas from the community as BART moves forward in updating its 2017 Sustainability Action Plan for 2025. BART’s Sustainability Department will provide background on its sustainability vision and program; an overview of current efforts to update the action plan for 2025; and presentations on key topics (each followed by interactive polling), including energy/GHG emissions, water, waste, resilience and adaptation, transportation and land use planning, materials and construction practices, and rider and employee experience.
This will be followed by a Q&A and a discussion of next steps.
More on BART’s Sustainability Action Plan: The action plan identifies, evaluates, and prioritizes the most important actions BART can take to advance sustainability through Calendar Year 2035. The plan summarizes much of the existing sustainability work BART is doing and finds the best points to leverage sustainability in the future planning, design, construction, operations and ongoing maintenance of the system.
Virtual meeting, because who would want to take BART.
I think I would just have one question…”why do these brand new trains already look like they are 40+ years old?” That isn’t dirt they are discolored. I know this is a small petty thing but for all the money that was spent to modernize the fleet why do they look so bad?
I’ve been thinking the same thing. They already look grungy.
Sustainability? Are you kidding? Maybe focus on not being a drain on the government and having to get bailouts.
Another supposed discussion where they take resident input, do what they want, then later can say they solicited citizen input……. it’s all for show
Sustainability Action Plan
More TAXES
Less responsibility
Less accountability
And… outrageous salaries, pensions and benefits!!
Public/rider, are the only times taxpayers are mentioned.
The public rider is of little consequence.
Blah blah blah.
Here’s your “sustainability “ action plan.
Above all – do not “focus” on “pretty” stuff. Your job is transportation. Period. Enough of these focus groups and feel-good meeetinfs.
Waste, of time, taxpayers money,,,,blah blah. Sustainability is also making what you already have to perform as efficiently as possible. The decay of BART is not sustainable!
Waste of time. BART does not value feedback from their riders because the majority is negative. Board members are overpaid and under worked. There appears to be an emphasis in cleaning up the trains and stations, but fare evaders at the Concord BART is still unacceptable.
BART’s mission is to safely, efficiently, and affordaby move people from place to place. Put an end to the constant “MISSION CREEP,” no more wanting to hire the homeless to be “BART Ambassadors,” stop focusing on trying to build housing, and get back to your mission!
I optimistically ready the headline as “Safety progress…” . Maybe to ‘sustain’ themselves they should create a safety action plan. Get all the non-paying people out of the system and it will improve overnight.
fill in the bart tracks with dirt put plants im so sick of bart done goofing around
