Schedule of community meetings on new law to keep riders, employees safe

BART has new authority to keep our passengers and employees safe and our surroundings clean and orderly. A new law allows BART to prohibit individuals who have committed violent acts, certain misdemeanors or felonies on the system from entering all BART property through a “Notice of Prohibition.” In order to ensure that the public has an opportunity to fully understand the new law and provide feedback and suggestions on implementation, BART is conducting a series of meetings to review and explain the law with interested communities particularly those advocating for individuals with mental health issues or the homeless. For more information, contact Crystal Raine, BART Police Department, (510) 464-7052, [email protected]  or read an explanatory story with more background on the law and a list of answers to Frequently Asked Questions. If you need language assistance services, please call (510) 464-6752, 72 hours prior to the date of the meeting. Download a flyer about the meetings below.
