Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) recently approved a $523.8 million fiscal-year 2006 interim operating budget, which includes a $24 million deficit.
The budget calls for eliminating 115 positions (half of which already are vacant), freezing executive managements’ salaries for one year, increasing parking fees at some stations, adding a 10-cent surcharge to tickets and shortening trains to more closely match demand.
However, BART will add some morning peak-hour trains.
Agency officials will try to balance the budget through on-going contract negotiations with BART’s five labor unions.
