SHOWING THE NEED

Data-driven equity, community-powered progress.

Our neighborhood deserves a future with accessible and affordable transportation. That's why we're advocating for the San Antonio BART Station.

This project isn't just about convenience; it's about equity.

Thanks to supporter Ruth Fatolitis, we now have a powerful data map showcasing the critical need for this station. This map visualizes key demographics, including transit reliance, income levels, and racial diversity. It paints a clear picture: our community is brimming with residents who would greatly benefit from improved public transportation access.

Data from American Community Survey 5 year estimates (2022 tables), geospatial data is the 2022 Tiger file for California. Thank you, Ruth!

High density of multi-family housing

Dense multifamily housing is a sweet spot for infill stations. More residents living close together means a higher ridership. Residents in multifamily units are also less likely to own cars, so a station offers a convenient alternative, reducing traffic and emissions.

Building an infill station in a densely populated area with multifamily housing creates a win-win for residents, the environment, and economic growth

Reduced car dependence and environmental benefits

12-30% of our community's residents don't own a car, and need transit options to get to shopping, school, work, and recreation.

A conveniently located BART station offers a reliable alternative, reducing car dependence and associated traffic congestion. This translates to lower emissions and a more sustainable transportation system.

Equity and inclusion

The demographics speak for themselves. we are nearly 80% non-white and have been passed over by systems designed in the mid-century to transport residents of whiter suburbs to jobs in the city.

Equitable public transportation access helps right the wrongs of the past, and will bring economic, social, and environmental benefits for all.
