Board Workshop has long been an opportunity to have thoughtful and strategic dialogue about the direction of the District. Not just service we provide & role we play in the region but also how we operate as an agency and our efforts to deliver world class transit for the Bay Area
2022 marks our 50th anniversary of serving the Bay Area.
During these next 2 days I want (the Board) to think about:

- Extended BART service hours
- And more!
