Focus Station Area Action Plans (FSAAP) will identify tailored infrastructure improvement concepts for local roadways on the high injury network (HIN) in their catchment areas. The HIN identifies local roadways with concentrations of crashes that resulted in fatalities or severe injuries. Station catchment areas were developed using the median distance that riders travel to access BART from home whose length depends on each station. Improvement concepts will be drawn from the countermeasure toolkit to be included in Safe Trips to BART: An Action Plan for Safer Roadways. These FSAAPs will support local cities and counties in securing funding to design and implement identified roadway safety improvements.
Seven stations were chosen for the FSAAP effort. They were selected based on geographic diversity, collision history, and local agency input. The table below shows the stations and agencies with roadways or intersections on the HIN.
Station | County | Agencies with Roadways and/or Intersections on HIN |
| Balboa Park | San Francisco | San Francisco, Caltrans |
| Coliseum | Alameda | Oakland, Caltrans |
| Colma | San Mateo | Colma, Daly City, County, Caltrans |
| Concord | Contra Costa | Concord, Pleasant Hill, Caltrans |
| Hayward | Alameda | Hayward, County, Caltrans |
| Milpitas | Santa Clara | Milpitas, County |
| Richmond | Contra Costa | Richmond |
In-person pop-ups were conducted at each focus station in November and December of 2024 to gather input from riders regarding their traffic, bicycle, and pedestrian safety concerns. Additionally, riders encountered posters in these stations encouraging them to complete the traffic safety survey, which was open to the public until December 19. Survey responses will help BART and local agencies identify streets and intersections of particular concern.
BART will work with each partner agency to develop the FSAAP for each focus station in early 2025. Please sign up for the project email list to receive timely updates.
