The Bay Area depends on BART

It’s not just the 400,000 people who use BART every day who urge all parties to negotiate with purpose and avoid a strike.  Millions more will be impacted by congested roads, added pollution and lost time if service is disrupted.

 

On behalf of over one thousand members of the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and the thousands more who work with and for those members, we urge BART management and their unions to find a solution to their contractual disagreements.  And as you work diligently to come to an agreement that you not interrupt the service we depend on.  A strike is not just bad news for the parties involved, it is bad for the Bay Area and so we urge you to avoid a strike.
