BART Board Approves Plan to Close Up to 15 Stations if No New Funding Comes

BART's board initially approved an Alternative Service Plan to close a $376 million deficit if no new money arrives: three lines and 30% higher fares from January 2027 and 1,200 layoffs, then up to 15 stations closed and trains stopping at 9pm.

On Thursday 26 February 2026 the BART Board initially approved an Alternative Service Plan to solve a $376M deficit for the next fiscal year if no new funds become available.^[1]
BART blames a structural deficit of $350M to $400M on ridership still down 50% from before the pandemic and a funding model that leans heavily on fares.^[1]
The plan covers the FY27 and FY28 budgets and combines service cuts, station closures, fare increases, a 40% cut to system support services, 1,200 layoffs, and deferrals and one-time resources.^[1]
The first cuts, in January 2027, would run only the Yellow, Blue and Orange lines (with limited peak service on Red and Green), a 63% reduction in train hours, and raise fares and parking fees 30%, lifting the average fare from $4.98 to $6.38.^[1]
The next stage targets over $175M a year: a cumulative 70% cut in service hours, 30-minute trains closing at 9pm, up to 15 stations and/or up to 25% of track miles closed, and fares up to 50% higher (an average of $7.26). The board, not staff, would choose which stations close.^[1]
BART says a state bridge loan cannot prevent the cuts if no new revenue arrives, because it could not be repaid; it only helps cash flow if the November 2026 transit measure passes.^[1]
In June the board adopted a balanced FY27 budget ($1.2B operating) that assumes the regional measure passes, while keeping the Alternative Service Plan as the fallback.^[3]
If the measure passes, BART expects about $74M for operations in the last quarter of FY27 and about $310M a year from FY28.^[2]
