BART Public Participation Plan

In order to expand public access to our transportation decision-making process, BART initiated an intensive community involvement process and planning effort to develop a Public Participation Plan (PPP). The plan will guide BART's ongoing public involvement endeavors to ensure the most effective means of providing information and receiving public input on transportation issues, with particular emphasis on involving traditionally under-represented groups.
