Gas tax funds to buy BART cars in Bay Area plan
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission approved spending 14 million dollars of gas tax money to help finance the purchase of 100 Bay Area Rapid Transit District cars. The plan calls for the remaining two thirds of the 42 million dollar cost to be funded by the U S Department of Transportation. BART intends to bid for the vehicles rather than buy under an existing contract with a company. The study also recommends tearing down the AC Transit Terminal in San Francisco to make way for a 20 million dollar transportation office high rise complex, with the terminal owned by the State Division of Bay Tall Crossings.
