Safe Routes to BART (SR2B) is a grant program sponsored by BART using voter-approved Measure RR capital funds. SR2B is designed to help local agencies improve access for BART customers traveling to BART stations by walking and biking. Grants to local jurisdictions in Alameda, Contra Costa and San Francisco Counties using Measure RR capital funds will help our partner agencies deliver capital projects for the streets, sidewalks, trails and plazas that serve riders on their way to and from BART.
The Measure RR General Obligation (GO) Bond includes $135M (4% of the $3.5 B bond) to deliver capital projects to expand opportunities to safely access BART stations. $77M of this amount has been tentatively allocated for the development and construction of Active Access (walking and bicycling) projects.
BART has set aside a total of $25M of the $77M for the SR2B grant program. The most competitive projects for this grant are those that support the goals of BART's Station Access Policy, expand station access choices and make it safer and easier for all riders to use the system. SR2B provides grant funding for construction only (which may include construction management).
