COMMISSION ACTIONS July 2002
Adopted recommendations from the Bay Crossings Study, wrapping up an 18-month analysis of ways to improve transbay mobility. The first tier consists of a series of near-term improvements designed to make carpooling and transit more attractive and convenient, and that could be funded with existing resources. Also falling into this category is express bus service across the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge. The second tier includes several more ambitious proposals that could be funded with a $1 hike in bridge tolls, including rehabilitating the Dumbarton rail bridge to accommodate commuter trains, creating reversible lanes to boost peak-direction capacity on the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, greatly expanding transbay express bus service and increasing BART’s
transbay capacity.
