eBART is a proposed BART system expansion into East Contra Costa County. The eBART Proposed Project would extend the BART system in the median of Highway 4 approximately 10 miles eastward from the existing Pittsburg/Bay Point BART station to a new station at Railroad Avenue in Pittsburg and a terminus station east of Hillcrest Avenue in Antioch. Self- propelled rail cars, also known as Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU), are the proposed vehicle technology for eBART. The eBART Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) has been completed and is now available. The FEIR consists of the Draft EIR (DEIR), which was published in September 2008, together with the Responses to Comments, which contains the responses to public and agency comments on the DEIR and revisions to the DEIR made in response to public comments. Please click here to download the eBART FEIR. The BART Board will consider the FEIR and determine whether to adopt the project during a regularly scheduled Board meeting on April 23.
The eBART Partnership represents an exciting collaboration among:East Contra Costa County is the fastest growing region in the Bay Area, with an expected 40,000 households and 63,000 jobs to be added by 2025. Residents and commuters need effective and convenient rapid transit to reduce congestion on clogged roads. The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) is partnering to provide frequent, reliable, and high quality transit service in East County.
BART is nearing the end of the environmental review for the eBART Project. In this review of the East Contra Costa BART Extension, alternatives, impacts and mitigation measures have been studied in detail. The eBART project must balance cost, technology, community needs and environmental benefits and impacts to provide high quality service to East Contra Costa County.
