Over forty years after the original planning for the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system occurred, steps are now underway to serve the region's three air carrier airports. This paper focuses on the BART-Oakland Airport Connector Project. There is a long history of studies of connecting the terminal at the Oakland Metropolitan International Airport with BART's Coliseum Station, a distance of 4.8 kilometers (3 miles). The most recent initiative stems from Alameda County's successful transportation sales tax referendum, approved by 81% of the voters. This paper discusses key planning, environmental, and conceptual engineering aspects of the Connector Project.
