Projects

BART is moving forward with a historic purchase of brand-new fare gates to be installed systemwide. The fare gates will bring a new look and improved experience, offering state-of-the-art technology that will boost safety by reducing fare evasion, enhancing accessibility for people in wheelchairs, those who bring bikes, and strollers on BART, and optimizing the reliability and maintenance needs of the fare gates. The first prototype gates went into service at West Oakland station in December 2023. All 50 stations will be completed by August 2025, ahead of schedule.

In parallel, BART is investing in additional station improvements to further deter fare evasion and enhance system safety and security, such as installing higher barriers and relocating elevators into the paid area.
