“I have worked hand-in-hand with BART Director Melissa Hernandez on our region’s most pressing transit issues. Her leadership at the helm of several public transportation agencies and transportation expertise will go a long way to giving BART riders the transit system they deserve and expect — a system that is clean, safe, affordable, and on-time.”
– Congressman Eric Swalwell
