The BART Board released the District’s draft Fiscal Year 2001 Short-Range Transit Plan (SRTP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for public review. 

The board will hear public comments on those documents at its regular July 13 meeting, which will begin at 9 a.m. in the BART Board of Directors room at the District’s Oakland headquarters, 800 Madison St. 

The plans provide an analysis of BART’s operating and capital funding needs, priorities, and funding strategies through Fiscal Year 2010. Plans are required by the Federal Transit Administration and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. 

The SRTP is a management and financial planning tool providing a long-term perspective of the current year operating program that gives an overview of BART’s organization, facilities and fare structure. It contains plans for the next 10 years. 

The CIP is a management and planning tool for BART’s capital program and lays out the District’s approach to capital investment decision-making and capital funding strategy. 

The public can download the plans from BART’s web site at www.bart.gov/inside.planing/index. Hard copies can be requested at the web site or picked up at the BART Public Affairs Office, 800 Madison St., Oakland. They can also be picked up at the Berkeley Central Library.
