The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approved $10.3 million to replace outdated fare gates at five BART stations, part of a $90 million regional upgrade initiative. This funding acts as a guarantee for the San Mateo County Transit Agency, which oversees local transportation projects. BART intends to seek a grant to cover costs from the SMCTA's Measure W program. Despite safety concerns, recent data shows a positive trend in crime rates on BART, highlighting the importance of continuous investment in transit infrastructure for improved security and rider experiences.
