[Ebbc-Talk] Fwd: BART releases bike pilot survey results, BBATF Meeting this Monday, 10/1, 6 PM

Cyclists,

BART has released the DRAFT results of a randomized survey on the August 1012 bike pilot project.

Press release and access to the PDF here: 

http://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2012/news20120928.aspx

The results are mixed and there are some intriguing apparent inconsistencies between the different responses.

BART will be adjusting the responses a small amount to match the demographics of its ridership base but the final
numbers should not change the overall results much.

BART staff is busy processing lots of information and feedback gained during the bike pilot, and will be 
presenting a variety of policy and procedural recommendations to the BART Board of Directors for their consideration
in November or December.

The BART Bicycle Advisory Task Force meets this coming Monday, October 1, 6-8 PM, at 101 Eighth Street in Oakland
 (MTC/ABAG/Joseph P Bort Metro Center) to evaluate and discuss the bike pilot.

101-Eightht Street is across the street 
from Lake Merritt BART. The public is welcome and bikes are allowed inside the building.

> A rider survey about BART’s commute period bike pilot, when blackout restrictions were lifted on five Fridays in August, found varied results. Currently, there are bike blackout periods of about two hours during peak weekday commute times in which bikes are not allowed on some trains. Any proposed changes would need to go to the Board of Directors for consideration. Read more about what the survey found, and download the complete survey results.
