BART bond measure-funded infrastructure projects well ahead of schedule, per independent committee report

BART’s 20-year infrastructure repair plan is well ahead of schedule, officials with the transit agency said Thursday, with nearly 40 percent of planned work completed in only the project’s fifth year.

Voters approved the $3.5 billion bond measure in 2016 that allowed BART to replace aging rail and track components, some of which have been in use since BART opened 50 years ago, and modernize the system’s stations.
