BART successfully completed the installation of Next Generation Fare Gates at all 50 stations in August. The hard work of the project team allowed BART to beat its deadline to have new gates in all stations by the end of 2025 by four months. BART celebrated the completion of the installation work with a ribbon cutting ceremony at West Dublin/Pleasanton Station.
Next Generation Fare Gates have changed the feel and appearance of stations and are already serving as a strong deterrent against fare evasion. The gates bring a new look and improved experience, offering state-of-the-art technology that is boosting safety by deterring fare evasion as well as enhancing access for people in wheelchairs and those who bring bikes and strollers on BART.
Installing new fare gates to prevent fare evasion is an accountability requirement for BART to receive SB 125 emergency state funding in response to the pandemic.
