Summary
BART's new fare gates are working — fare evasion revenue losses down about $10 million a year, crime against riders down 67% — but the agency faces deficits over $370 million a year starting FY 2027. Without a regional transit measure passing, BART has approved a backup plan to cut service 70%, close at 9 p.m., and raise fares 50%.

Impact analysis
A failed regional measure could mean 70% service cuts and 50% fare hikes for San Leandro riders.
Commuters and students who depend on BART benefit from safety gains and the regional measure if it passes.
Riders would bear steep cuts and fare increases if new funding fails.
