Nov. 20: Join BART for a community meeting on BART’s sustainability progress and share your feedback
On Wednesday, Nov. 20, 5pm to 6:30pm, BART's Sustainability Department invites the public to join a virtual community meeting for updates on BART's sustainability progress and to share their thoughts and priorities moving forward.
To receive the meeting Zoom link, register by clicking here or scanning the QR code on the flyer below.
The meeting will gather perspectives and ideas from the community as BART moves forward in updating its 2017 Sustainability Action Plan for 2025. BART's Sustainability Department will provide background on its sustainability vision and program; an overview of current efforts to update the action plan for 2025; and presentations on key topics (each followed by interactive polling), including energy/GHG emissions, water, waste, resilience and adaptation, transportation and land use planning, materials and construction practices, and rider and employee experience.
This will be followed by a Q&A and a discussion of next steps.
More on BART's Sustainability Action Plan: The action plan identifies, evaluates, and prioritizes the most important actions BART can take to advance sustainability through Calendar Year 2035. The plan summarizes much of the existing sustainability work BART is doing and finds the best points to leverage sustainability in the future planning, design, construction, operations and ongoing maintenance of the system.
We hope to see you there!
