BART has achieved a 15% drop in crime in 2024 through efforts like the Safe and Clean Plan, boosting safety and cleanliness after pandemic challenges.
BART Police Chief Kevin Franklin emphasized maximizing officer visibility, stating, 'Our officers are more visible than ever...before they grow into big problems that harm service.'
General Manager Bob Powers acknowledged the mixed perceptions of safety, commenting, 'We have more work to do...these numbers indicate our commitment to maximizing our visible safety presence.'
Franklin noted that new fare gates at Civic Center and West Oakland have led to a surge in Clipper Card usage, signifying increased passenger confidence.
