The Federal Transit Administration pulled $70 million in stimulus funds from BART's Oakland Airport Connector project last month based on our civil rights complaint, finding that BART ignored civil rights laws. Fortunately, the Bay Area didn't lose that funding - it was distributed among the region's ailing transit systems. But the transit administration's action makes it clear that public money must be spent fairly or agencies will be held accountable. Hold BART accountable for decisions that are fair and meet all of its riders needs. Get BART to involve low-income residents and riders in all future major decisions related to BART service changes or fare hikes. Ensure east Oakland residents have a say in what gets built in their community. We would be happy to provide more background information to you over the phone or by email.
