Link21 Vision Statement
The Link21 Program and its partners will transform the BART and Regional Rail (including commuter, intercity, and high-speed rail) network in the Northern California Megaregion into a faster, more integrated system that provides a safe, efficient, equitable, and affordable means of travel for all types of trips. This Program, including a new train crossing between Oakland and San Francisco, will enhance livability, community stability, economic opportunity, and environmental quality in the Megaregion while improving the passenger experience. With key investments that leverage the existing network and increase capacity and system reliability, train service will better meet the travel needs of residents throughout the Megaregion.
Link21 Goals and Objectives
The following four goals reflect the broad benefits that will be achieved by this Program. The foundational goal—TRANSFORM THE PASSENGER EXPERIENCE—serves as the catalyst to enable the other three goals to come to fruition.
