WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW?

There are now more rebuilding projects happening in the BART system than at any point in the District’s history. As Measure RR enters its fourth year of existence there are dozens of projects currently underway across BART’s 50 stations and 131 route miles of track.

Despite the large number of projects underway across BART, the overall Measure RR program is only about 10% complete. The Measure RR Bond Oversight Committee in its latest annual report wrote that the current rate of progress is consistent with the goals outlined by BART when Measure RR was presented to voters in Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Francisco counties in 2016.

Through March 2020, $504 million in Measure RR funds have been invested in rebuilding projects. The value of the work completed has outpaced projections for this stage of the overall program. IRS rules require that at the time of issuance the BART District needs to have a reasonable expectation that 85% of the bond proceeds, including interest earnings on the proceeds, will be spent within three years. That means there’s a reasonable expectation that BART would spend $300 million in RR funds by June 2020. BART met that goal in August 2019.
