BART EARTHQUAKE SAFETY PROGRAM ABAG Infrastructure Interdependencies Workshop I January 31, 2012
BART:A Vital Transportation Link • 5 Lines • 104 Miles • 4-County Service Area • 360,000 Daily Weekday Ridership • 150,000 Daily Cross Bay on BART • During Peak Commute, BART Carries as Many People as the Bay Bridge • Nearly 20 Million Trips/Year Made by Alameda County Residents
Interdependency with PG&E • BART Traction Power Network • 12 PG&E Switching Stations • 1 KV Electric Third Rail • 62 Substations; 46 Gap Breaker Stations
Examples of Actions BART Has Taken • Evaluated Interdependencies Between BART and PG&E Power Feeds • Evaluated Risks to Operations if Power is Lost • Reduced Exposure to Impacts from Power Interruptions
Challenges to Mitigation Efforts • Security Sensitive Information • Keeping up with Change • Keeping Mitigation on the Front Burner
Recommendations • Build Relationships Now • Share Emergency Response Plans • Build Redundant Communication Links
