SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATIONS Accept report. FISCAL IMPACT None. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS On March 30, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Transportation Committee for discussion, potential legislation on the BART voting program to avoid lengthy deadlocks as are being experienced with the Colma BART extension. The Committee discussed SB 573 (Kopp) which proposes to establish a Bay Area Rail Service - Board to coordinate certain activities of rail operators in the Bay Area. This bill was of particular interest to the Committee because it addresses the existing institutional arrangement of Bay Area rail operators, like BART, with the potential to improve decision-making on certain rail transit issues that go beyond the boundaries of the current three-county BART service area. The Transportation Committee will continue its research on this issue and report to the Board within the next several months.
