eBART is a proposed BART extension into East Contra Costa County. In August 2007 a Phase I Proposed Project was recommended by the eBART Partnership Policy Advisory Committee (ePPAC), and an Environmental Impact Report is currently in preparation. The Phase I Proposed Project would operate in the median of State Route 4 between the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART station and the City of Antioch. Future phases could extend beyond Antioch to Oakley, Brentwood, Byron/Discovery Bay and beyond.
The eBART Partnership represents an exciting collaboration between:
East Contra Costa County is the fastest growing region in the Bay Area, with an expected 40,000 households and 63,000 jobs to be added by 2025. Now more than ever, residents and commuters need effective and convenient rapid transit to reduce congestion on clogged roads. The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) is striving to provide frequent, reliable, and high quality transit service in East County.
As part of the process, BART has commenced the environmental review. In this review of the East Contra Costa BART Extension, alternatives, impacts and mitigation measures will be studied in detail. Community input will be important in the environmental evaluation.
The eBART project must balance cost, technology, community needs and environmental benefits and impacts to provide high quality service to East Contra Costa County. Whichever transportation option is selected, service will be coordinated to allow for easy transfers to and from the BART system.
