I. INTRODUCTION
The BART Station Profile Study provides a snapshot of weekday customers at each individual
BART station and for the overall system. This snapshot comes from a comprehensive spring
2008 survey of BART customers based on a stratified random sample. The main purposes of
this study are to better understand how customers currently use and access BART, to track
changes that have occurred since the last study, and to anticipate customers’ future
requirements. Topics covered include detailed trip information and customer demographics.
While the last Station Profile Study was conducted in 1998, this type of study dates back
almost to the beginning of BART. BART began passenger service in September of 1972 and
launched its first Station Profile Study in May of 1973. The 2008 Station Profile Study marks
the 13th such study conducted by BART.
Many changes occurred in the region between the 1998 and 2008 Station Profile studies.
These include:
 Rapid expansion of the Bay Area economy, peaking in late 2000, followed by an equally
dramatic economic contraction and subsequent recovery;
 A real estate boom, peaking in late 2006, followed by a housing downturn;
 A national recession beginning around March 2008;
 Increase in construction of denser housing in urban areas, including transit- oriented
developments located within walking distance of many BART stations;
 A dramatic increase in gasoline prices, peaking in the summer of 2008.
In addition to regional shifts, many changes have occurred within the BART system since
1998, including:
 Four new BART stations -- San Francisco International Airport ( SFO), Millbrae, San Bruno,
and South San Francisco;
 Significant ridership growth, from 287,000 trips on a typical weekday during the survey
period in 1998 to 364,000 trips on a typical weekday during the survey period in 2008;
 An increased focus on security, post- September 11, 2001;
 Renovation of aging facilities;
 Introduction of paid parking programs at many BART stations;
 A wide variety of projects to facilitate the use of BART by people with disabilities, such as
elevator rehabilitation, audio announcements of train arrivals, and the creation of more
open space on trains to better accommodate wheelchairs;
2008 BART Station Profile Study Section I: Introduction
BART Marketing and Research Department Page 2
 Various programs and policies enacted to facilitate the use of BART among bicyclists,
including a dramatic increase in bicycle parking, the introduction of attended bicycle
parking facilities, an increase in the periods bicycles are allowed on trains, and the
creation of more open space on trains to better accommodate bicyclists; and
 A January 2008 increase in evening and Sunday train service of 33%. This increase cut
headways from 20 minutes to 15 minutes on evenings, Sundays, and holidays.
Looking ahead, the region is expected to continue to grow in population and diversity.
With the growth in population, traffic congestion is increasing as well. The Association of
Bay Area Governments ( ABAG) report, Projections 2007, predicts that the nine- county
region’s population will grow from 7.1 million people in 2005 to 9.0 million in 2035 -- a 27%
increase. Forecasts also show a significant increase in the older population in the Bay Area,
with those over 60 years old increasing dramatically. Another major change is the growing
ethnic diversity of the region.
All of these transformations have influenced, and will continue to affect, the profile of
BART customers.

Overview of Methodology
The 2008 Station Profile Study is the largest survey ever conducted of BART riders. Over
50,000 weekday BART customers returned questionnaires during the survey period. These
questionnaires captured detailed information about customers’ trip purposes and how they
get to and from BART stations, as well as customer demographics. Comparing these data
against the 1998 data provides insight on changes that have occurred over the past ten
years.
The current study was conducted between April 2, 2008 and May 8, 2008. Self- administered
questionnaires were distributed by professional interviewers to randomly selected
customers as they entered the BART system. The survey was conducted on Mondays,
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 5: 30 am and 12 midnight. Customers could
deposit questionnaires in collection boxes located at BART stations or mail the survey forms
to BART, postage paid. In total, 52,625 useable questionnaires were returned and processed
out of the 114,158 which were distributed. This represents an overall return rate of 46
percent, which exceeded the 1998 return rate of 42 percent.
Specific steps were taken to ensure that passengers randomly selected to participate in this
survey were able to do so. Questionnaires were made available to customers in English,
Spanish, and Chinese. Additionally, customers who had a disability which prevented them
from completing the self- administered questionnaire were given a card with a toll- free
number so they could participate in the study by phone. These cards were typeset in large-print
English, Spanish, and Chinese, as well as Braille.

Reading This Report
Following this introduction, Section II: Highlights provides an overview of major findings
and items of interest. Section III: Systemwide Results provides more comprehensive data for
the BART system as a whole, while station- specific information is presented in Section IV:
Origin Station Profiles and Section V: Comparative Tables by Origin Station. Appendices to
the report contain questionnaires from 2008 and 1998 and provide methodological and
statistical documentation.
The following information provides some background to help the reader interpret the
contents and terminology used in this report.
Trip- based data
The Station Profile Study questionnaire focuses on BART customers’ one- way trips. Riders
were asked for details about the specific BART trip they were taking when they received the
questionnaire, such as their starting and ending stations, where they just came from, and
where they were going. The survey data were weighted to reflect BART’s actual average
weekday trips. ( Refer to Appendix B for weighting methodology details.) As noted, this is a
weekday survey and, thus, trip- specific data in this report pertain only to weekday travel.
( Note that systemwide data for weekend trips are available through BART’s biennial
Customer Satisfaction Survey.)
Origins and destinations
Throughout this report, the terms origin and destination are frequently used. Origin
refers to the starting point of a passenger’s BART trip at the time that he/ she was surveyed,
while destination refers to a passenger’s ending point after exiting BART. As the survey was
conducted during all service hours, a passenger’s origin may be home, work, or other, just as
the passenger’s destination may be home, work, or other.
For some survey questions, particularly those dealing with transportation mode to and from
BART stations, it is helpful to look at the data by origin or destination type. The
origin/ destination types used most frequently in this report are:
 Home origins: All trips starting from home.
 Non- home origins: All trips starting from locations other than home, such as work,
school, shopping, etc.
 Non- home destinations: All trips ending at locations other than home, such as work,
school, shopping, etc. This group includes all origins ( both home and non- home).
2008 BART Station Profile Study Section I: Introduction
BART Marketing and Research Department Page 5
Systemwide data vs. station- specific data
Section III of this report contains data for the BART system as a whole. These percentages
are based on data weighted to reflect entries and exits throughout the overall BART system,
using origin/ destination weights. Section IV and Section V contain data broken out by
individual origin stations. These percentages are based on data weighted to reflect entries
at specific BART stations using origin weights.
Bases
Each table in this report is labeled with a title and a description of the table’s base. This lets
the reader know to whom the data shown apply. For example:
 “ Table 23: Gender” shows that 43% are male, and the base is “ Total.” This means
that 43% of all weekday BART trips are made by male passengers.
 “ Table 2: Access Mode to BART from Home Origin” shows that 49% travel to BART
by car, and the base is “ Home origins.” This means that among those weekday
BART trips beginning at home, 49% involve a car for travel between home and
BART.
Sub- groups by time period and trip type
The systemwide data in this report are broken out by time period and trip type to facilitate
comparisons between these sub- groups.
The time periods are based on expected exit times as follows:
 AM Peak: From the beginning of service to 9: 59 a. m.
 Midday: 10: 00 a. m. – 3: 59 p. m.
 PM Peak: 4: 00 p. m. – 6: 59 p. m.
 Evening: 7: 00 p. m. through the end of service.
The trip types are:
 Transbay: All BART trips traveling through the Transbay Tube
 Intra East Bay: All BART trips starting and ending in the East Bay
 Intra West Bay: All BART trips starting and ending in the West Bay
Percentages
Most data in this report are shown as percentages rounded to whole numbers. Due to
rounding, as well as some cases where multiple responses were accepted, data will not
always total 100%.
To convert percentages into absolute numbers of passenger trips, multiply the relevant trip
totals in the Appendix D tables by the percentages given in the findings. The Appendix D
2008 BART Station Profile Study Section I: Introduction
BART Marketing and Research Department Page 6
tables contain systemwide passenger volumes by time period and trip type, as well as
station- specific passenger volumes by home origin and non- home origin.
Comparisons with 1998 Survey Results
Where possible, survey questions and response categories from 1998 were retained in 2008
to facilitate comparison. In cases where changes were made, details are specified in the
notes on the last page of each table. Modified response categories and specific notes are
marked with “^” throughout. For example, in “ Table 1: Origin Type,” a response category is
shown as “ Airplane ( Trip)^.” The notes explain that this option was listed as “ Airport” on
the 1998 questionnaire.

II. HIGHLIGHTS
The 2008 BART Station Profile Study provides insight to better understand who is riding
BART, as well as how they are using the system. A major objective of the study is to provide
travel pattern and demographic data that can be used to track changes from the 1998 BART
Station Profile Study. The results will be used to evaluate current and future services offered
by BART to its customers.
The following general themes emerge from a review of survey results:
The majority of weekday BART trips are destined for home or work, and specific
trip destinations vary by time of day.
 During the AM Peak, 88% of passenger trips are destined for work or work- related
activities.
 In the Midday period, however, this percentage drops to 35%, with the balance
destined for home ( 33%), school ( 8%), or a wide variety of other trip purposes, such as
personal errands ( 5%), visiting friends or family ( 4%), medical appointments ( 3%), or
shopping ( 3%).
Among stations with substantial trips from non- home origins, some have
relatively high percentages of trips from specific types of locations like schools
and restaurants.
 At Daly City, 63% of those entering from non- home origins are coming from school. This
station offers shuttle service to and from San Francisco State University. At Balboa Park,
61% are coming from school. This station is located near City College of San Francisco.
 At Rockridge, MacArthur, and Ashby, relatively high percentages are coming from
medical/ dental appointments ( 9%, 8%, and 8%, respectively). The Rockridge Station is
located near numerous doctors’ offices along College Avenue. MacArthur offers shuttle
service to and from the Oakland Kaiser Permanente Medical Center and the Alta Bates
Summit Medical Center ( Summit Campus). Ashby offers shuttle service to and from the
Alta Bates Summit Medical Center ( Ashby Campus).
 At Powell St., 8% are coming from shopping. This station has a direct entrance to a
major shopping center and is located in close proximity to Union Square and other retail
establishments.
 At 16th St. Mission and Rockridge, 9% and 8% are coming from restaurants,
respectively. Both of these stations are located within areas with a high concentration of
restaurants.
More than two out of three riders coming from home ( 68%) have a vehicle
available that they could have used instead of BART.
 Among AM Peak riders, an even higher percentage of those coming from home ( 73%)
report having a vehicle available.

 Vehicle availability has increased since 1998, when only 60% of all riders coming from
home had a vehicle available.
Among BART riders heading to work, only 21% have free parking available at
work. This percentage varies greatly by time period and trip type.
 Availability of free parking at work increases as the day progresses. In the AM Peak,
only 20% have free parking available. This percentage increases during the Midday and
PM Peak periods, when 24% and 27% report having free parking available, respectively.
Forty- one percent of Evening commuters have free parking at work.
 Those making Intra West Bay trips are least likely to have free parking available at work
( 12%), while those making Intra East Bay trips are most likely to have free parking
available at work ( 42%).
Systemwide, the majority ( 58%) of weekday BART trips are made by long- term
riders. While relatively new riders ( riding for less than one year) account for only
13% of weekday trips, the constant influx of new riders is crucial for
replenishment and growth. Looking at individual stations, a few stand out with
at least 20% of weekday trips made by new riders.
 Coming from home, customers who have been riding for less than one year make up
27% of weekday entries at Millbrae, 25% at Fremont, and 20% at San Bruno and
Montgomery St.
 Coming from non- home origins like work, school and airplane trips, customers who
have been riding for less than one year make up 28% of weekday entries at
San Francisco International Airport and Millbrae and 21% of weekday entries at
Fremont.
Overall, 6% of weekday trips are made by passengers with luggage.
 This percentage is higher during Midday and Evening, when 8% and 9% of trips are
made by passengers with luggage, respectively.
While the car remains the primary access mode for passengers traveling from
home to BART, there have been shifts within other modes. Compared to 1998,
more customers are walking or
bicycling to BART, and fewer are
taking transit.
 Overall, nearly half of those
coming from home travel to
BART by car. Specifically, 34%
drive alone, 5% carpool, and
10% are dropped off. These
systemwide data have remained
stable since 1998.
 Walking from home to BART
2008 BART Station Profile Study Section II: Highlights
BART Marketing and Research Department Page 9
increased five percentage points since 1998, and bicycling from home to BART increased
one percentage point.
 Taking transit from home to BART declined eight percentage points since 1998.
 At the individual station level, access modes differ as discussed next.
Access modes from home to BART vary substantially by station, largely reflecting
the varied residential patterns and geography of the BART service area.
 The percentage of passengers driving alone from home is highest at North Concord /
Martinez ( 72%) and lowest at Powell St. ( 1%).
 Walking from home is highest at 16th St. Mission ( 81%) and lowest at Orinda ( 3%).
 Taking transit from home is highest at Embarcadero ( 60%) and lowest at North Berkeley
( 1%).
 Bicycling from home is highest at Ashby ( 12%) and lowest at South San Francisco (< 1%).
The distance traveled between home and BART is longest at specific stations at or
near the end of BART lines and shortest at certain closer- in urban stations.
 The stations with the five longest median distances traveled between home and BART
by any mode are:
- Pittsburg / Bay Point: 7.92 miles
- North Concord / Martinez: 6.04 miles
- Millbrae: 4.76 miles
- El Cerrito del Norte: 4.02 miles
- Dublin / Pleasanton: 3.63 miles
 The stations with the five shortest median distances traveled between home and BART
by any mode are:
- 16th St. Mission: 0.46 miles
- 24th St. Mission: 0.55 miles
- Ashby: 0.63 miles
- Downtown Berkeley: 0.67 miles
- Glen Park: 0.73 miles
While determining the reasons for the changes in access modes requires further
research and station- by- station analysis, the data from this study show the
following regarding walking and bicycling to BART:
 Walk share from home increased 10 percentage points or more at 11 stations:
19th St. / Oakland, 12th St. / Oakland City Center, Downtown Berkeley, North Berkeley,
Powell St., Lake Merritt, Ashby, Colma, El Cerrito Plaza, Balboa Park, and
Montgomery St.
- Car and transit share have decreased at all of these stations.
 Bicycle mode share from home is up at least four percentage points at six stations, all
within Oakland or Berkeley: Fruitvale, Ashby, Downtown Berkeley, West Oakland,
MacArthur, and 19th St. / Oakland.
2008 BART Station Profile Study Section II: Highlights
BART Marketing and Research Department Page 10
 Bicyclist demographics have become more diverse in terms of gender and age in
comparison to 1998.
- While bicyclists are still more likely to be male, females now comprise 32% of those
bicycling from home to BART vs. 27% in 1998.
- While the largest age cohort is still 25 – 34 years old ( 35%), those ages 45 – 64 now
make up 29% of those bicycling from home to BART vs. 20% in 1998.
Data show the following regarding the decrease in transit:
 Fewer passengers are taking AC Transit from home to BART ( 22% of those taking transit
from home to BART in 2008 vs. 32% in 1998).
 Transit share from home origins declined 10 percentage points or more at 11 stations:
Coliseum, 12th St. / Oakland City Center, Downtown Berkeley, Hayward, Lake Merritt,
Union City, 19th St. / Oakland, Bay Fair, South Hayward, Fruitvale, and Powell St.
- Among these stations, walking increased by at least 10 percentage points at the
four in Central Business Districts, as well as at Lake Merritt. Traveling by car
increased by at least six points at most of the other stations ( Coliseum, South
Hayward, Hayward, Bay Fair, and Union City).
- The steepest transit decline of - 20 percentage points occurred at the Coliseum,
where transit appears to have been replaced by traveling by car (+ 17 percentage
points) and, to a lesser extent, walking (+ 6 percentage points).
- At stations where transit mode share is down and car mode share is up, it is possible
that the increase in vehicle availability since 1998 may be one of the contributing
factors to the access mode changes.
 While transit use from home to BART declined among all age groups, the largest
declines occurred among those who are most likely to use transit – the younger and
older age groups.
- Among those ages 13 – 17, transit use dropped 18 percentage points, while travel by
car increased 16 points. Note that this group comprises a very small share of BART
ridership.
- Among those ages 18 – 24, transit use dropped 10 percentage points, while travel by
car and walking increased seven points and three points, respectively.
- Among those ages 65 or older, transit use dropped 12 points, while walking
increased six points and travel by car increased five points.
 Only 42% of those riding transit to BART report having access to a vehicle. In
comparison, 51% of walkers have access to a vehicle, and 61% of bicyclists have access
to a vehicle.

It should be noted that other BART survey data reveal similar trends for walking
and bicycling over the past ten years, but show a smaller decline in transit use
between home and BART. 1
 The difference in the extent of the transit decline may be due in part to differing time
periods in which the 1998 and 2008 studies were conducted; the 1998 Station Profile
Study was conducted in fall, while the 2008 Station Profile Study was conducted in
spring. Seasonal differences may impact the types of trips taken, as well as mode
choices.
 Station Profile surveying was conducted Monday through Thursday in 2008 vs. Tuesday
through Thursday in 1998. It is possible that trip types and mode choices may vary on
Monday vs. other days of the week.
 Due to the Station Profile distribution methodology ( random sampling as passengers
enter the fare gates) and high ridership on BART, it is possible that transit riders
entering in large groups ( e. g., when multiple buses arrive at BART) could have been
undersampled at particularly busy times. 2
 Additionally, modifications to the 2008 Station Profile questionnaire format and data
editing rules may account for up to 1% of the transit decline.
Walking has become even more prevalent for passengers exiting BART destined
for non- home locations, such as work and school.
 Seventy- four percent are
walking to non- home
destinations, reflecting a seven
point increase vs. 1998.
 Taking transit to non- home
destinations has declined five
points. Specifically, AC
Transit’s share of these transit
trips is down eight points,
while SamTrans’ share and
County Connection’s share are
down three and two points,
respectively. Muni’s share,
however, has increased three points.
1 BART’s biennial Customer Satisfaction Survey shows that weekday transit use between home and BART declined from 19% in fall of 1998 to 18% in fall
of 2008. Note that as the methodology and questionnaire differ from the Station Profile Study, some variability is to be expected.
2 Note that while the distribution methodology was the same for both Station Profile studies, average weekday ridership was 27% higher in 2008.

BART Service Area
BART Weekday Customers ( 2008)
BART customers closely reflect the population within the BART service area. 3
 The average household size of weekday BART customers is 2.7 people. This is relatively
in line with household size estimates in Alameda ( 2.7), Contra Costa ( 2.8), San Francisco
( 2.3) and San Mateo ( 2.8) counties.
 Annual household incomes of BART’s weekday riders are fairly similar to the four- county
service area.
 The ethnic composition of weekday BART customers is fairly similar to the region as a
whole, but BART customers are more likely to be White and less likely to be Hispanic.
3 BART Service Area includes Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco and San Mateo counties. BART Service Area data are from the dataset “ 2007 American
Community Survey 1- Year Estimates.” BART Weekday Customer data are from “ 2008 BART Station Profile Survey.”

BART Marketing and Research Department Page 13
While BART customers reflect the broad regional population overall, customer
demographics and BART use differ substantially by home origin station.
For example:
 While 54% of Orinda passengers coming from home have household incomes of
$ 150,000 or more, only 7% of Powell St. passengers coming from home reported
household incomes this high.
 Colma has the highest percentage of females ( 67%) entering the station from home,
while Civic Center has the highest percentage of males ( 55%).
 Downtown Berkeley has the highest percentage of riders ages 18 – 24 ( 22%), and 16th St.
Mission has the highest percentage of riders ages 25 – 34 ( 43%).
 Orinda has the highest percentage of “ Baby Boomers” – 55% entering from home are
ages 45 – 64, and North Berkeley has the highest percentage of seniors – 11% entering
from home are 65 or older.
 16th St. Mission has the highest percentage of frequent riders – 34% entering from home
ride 6 – 7 days per week. Millbrae has the highest percentage of infrequent riders – 10%
entering from home ride less than once a month.
The percentage of BART customers classifying themselves as persons with
disabilities declined from 9% in 1998 to 5% in 2008.
 While the reason for this decline requires further research, it is possible that some of the
decline may be due to passengers switching from BART to ADA paratransit, as the
region’s paratransit systems experienced substantial growth in the past ten years.
 Another factor could be persons with disabilities shifting from BART to bus transit. The
Bay Area’s transit operators introduced large numbers of low floor buses in the past ten
years. Low floor buses are much easier to use for people in wheelchairs or with other
mobility problems than the older buses with wheelchair lifts.
 Demographic changes indicate that current riders who identify as disabled are more
likely to be 45 or older ( 64% vs. 41% in 1998), and they are more likely to have been
riding BART for five or more years ( 72% vs. 66% in 1998).

Gender
Women continue to represent a

than men. Although the gender
split within the BART service area is
50% male and 50% female4,
women use public transportation
more frequently than men5.
Women are also continuing to
increase their participation in the
workforce. While an estimated
55% of women in the Bay Area
participated in the workforce in
2005, this is expected to climb to
60% by 2015 and 66% by 20356.
Age
The age profile of BART’s weekday customers has changed in the past ten years, as the
percentage of customers ages 45 – 64 has increased, while the percentage of those ages 35 –
44 has decreased. Still, 60% of customers are under age 45.

2008 BART Station Profile Study Section II: Highlights
BART Marketing and Research Department Page 16
Household Size
More than half of BART riders live
alone or with only one other
person ( 54%), and nearly three-fourths
have a household size of
three people or less. The average
household size is 2.7 people7,
which is in line with estimates for
BART’s service area. As household
size data were not collected in
1998, a comparison is not possible.
Household Income
While more than half of BART riders have household incomes under $ 100,000, nearly one in
five ( 18%) has a household
income of $ 150,000 or
higher. Household income
varies widely by station. As
income ranges on the 1998
questionnaire differed
substantially from the 2008
categories, a direct
comparison is not possible.
7 Household size average was calculated using “ 6” as the value for those who checked “ 6 or more” on the questionnaire.

BART Marketing and Research Department Page 18
III- b: SYSTEMWIDE TABLES – 2008 VS. 1998
This section contains systemwide results for 2008 and 1998 by time period and trip type.
The time periods and trip types are defined as follows:
Time periods
 AM Peak: from the beginning of service to 9: 59 a. m.
 Midday: from 10: 00 a. m. to 3: 59 p. m.
 PM Peak: from 4: 00 p. m. to 6: 59 p. m.
 Evening: from 7: 00 p. m. to the end of service
Trip types
 Transbay: All trips traveling through the Transbay Tube
 Intra East Bay: All trips starting and ending in the East Bay
 Intra West Bay: All trips starting and ending in the West Bay
When comparing statistics by trip type, it should be noted that four new BART stations were
added since the 1998 study. These stations are: Millbrae, San Francisco International Airport
( SFO), San Bruno, and South San Francisco. They are all within the West Bay region.
The bases for each table, e. g., “ Total,” “ Home origins,” etc. are shown under the title of
each table. Response categories that were modified on the 2008 questionnaire are marked
with “^.” Corresponding notes at the end of the table describe the changes.
Percentage statistics are reported in whole numbers. Percentages of 0.5% and above were
rounded up. Percentages less than 0.5% are noted with an asterisk (“*”). A dash (“-“) is
used to denote zero. Columns may not add exactly to 100% due to rounding. A note is
included where multiple responses were accepted.
Numbers in brackets [ ] are subcategories which add up to the number above them. For
example, numbers in brackets showing “ Drove alone,” “ Drove with others,” and “ Dropped
off” add up to the “ Car” category above them. In cases where the bases were too small to
be statistically reliable, “ SB” ( small base) is shown instead of the percentage.
Percentages can be converted to absolute numbers of passenger trips using the relevant
systemwide trip totals in Appendix D.
Data in this section are weighted using origin/ destination weights. ( See Appendix B for
weighting details.)
Percentages should be read vertically ( down).

^ Some items were worded differently in 2008 than in 1998:
 In 1998, “ Muni Fast Pass” was listed separately. In 2008, this option was changed to “ Monthly Pass/ Muni Fast
Pass.”
 The 1998 “ Other” category includes monthly passes. In 2008, monthly passes were included within “ Monthly
Pass/ Muni Fast Pass.”
 In 1998, “ Free” was written in by respondents; in 2008, it was listed on the survey.
“ SB” indicates a base too small to be statistically reliable.
Some of the 1998 percentages reported here vary slightly from those in the 1998 report, as the base was modified
to be comparable with the 2008 data.

^ Some items were worded differently in 2008 than in 1998:
 In 1998, “ Muni Fast Pass” was listed separately. In 2008, this option was changed to “ Monthly Pass/ Muni Fast
Pass.”
 The 1998 “ Other” category includes monthly passes. In 2008, monthly passes were included within “ Monthly
Pass/ Muni Fast Pass.”
 In 1998, “ Free” was written in by respondents; in 2008, it was listed on the survey.
“ SB” indicates a base too small to be statistically reliable.

^ Part of the increase in vehicle availability may be due to a change in the question’s wording. The 1998 question
asked, “ Was a car, truck, or motorcycle available to you for this trip?,” focusing on the rider’s one- way trip. As such,
riders coming from work ( who left their cars at home) may have answered no. In 2008, the wording was modified
to encompass the entire day. Home origins only are shown here to minimize this factor.

^ There are several differences in 1998 and 2008 categories:
 In 1998, “ Mobility problem” was an option. In 2008, this option was split into two options: “ Mobility problem –
use wheelchair,” and “ Mobility problem – do not use wheelchair.”
 Percentages in the 1998 report were based on all who said they had a disability. These numbers have been
recalculated based on the total number of respondents so they can be compared to 2008 data.
 Blindness and Low Vision were separate categories on the 2008 questionnaire, but were one category in 1998.

^ The categories shown classify respondents based on single vs. multiple race and Hispanic vs. non- Hispanic in order
to be comparable to regional Census data, as reported by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. The
categories “ White,” “ Black/ African American,” “ Asian” and “ American Indian” only include respondents who
reported a single race and are non- Hispanic. All multiple race, non- Hispanic responses are included within “ Other.”
All Hispanic responses are included within Hispanic, regardless of race. In order to maintain comparability with 1998
data, those who responded to the ethnicity question but skipped the Hispanic question are included within the
non- Hispanic race categories. Note that the 1998 ethnicity data presented here differ from the data in the 1998
Station Profile Study report due to different categorization methods.

included. In 2008, any surveys received from those under 13 were automatically removed from statistical analysis.

2008 BART Station Profile Study Section IV- a: Station Profiles – Home Origins
BART Marketing and Research Department Page 66
IV- a. Station Profiles – Home Origins
This section contains a summary sheet for each BART station, based on data from customers
who travel to the station from home. Maps for each station are contained in separate PDF
files at www. bart. gov/ profile. Note that the San Francisco International Airport ( SFO)
Station is not included in this section due to a small sample size of home origin trips at this
station. ( For station- level information based on customers coming from non- home origins,
please refer to Section IV- b.)
The maps in the separate PDF files depict home origin points of customers who use each
station, and the points are color coded by mode of access. The points are weighted to
reflect average weekday ridership at the station. For example, an origin point with a
weight of seven will appear on the map as seven points, randomly dispersed around the
actual point of origin. Note that the number of trips may be underrepresented in cases
where multiple trips originate at the same location.
The summary sheet contains basic information about each station’s weekday home origin
trips, such as:
 absolute number of home origin trips
 access mode share
 trip destination types
 passenger demographics.
Additionally, car and bicycle parking data are included for context. Car parking spaces are
categorized as daily fee spaces, monthly permit spaces, or free spaces. The number shown
for total bicycle spaces includes bike racks, lockers, and bike station spaces where applicable.
These data were provided by BART’s Customer Access Department and are valid for spring
2008 when the survey was conducted. These parking statistics are subject to change over
time.
Percentage statistics are reported in whole numbers. Percentages of 0.5% and above were
rounded up. Columns may not add exactly to 100% due to rounding.
Percentages can be converted to absolute numbers of passenger trips using the number of
home- based trips listed at the top of each summary page.
Data in this section are weighted using origin weights. ( See Appendix B for weighting
details.)
For tables comparing results among stations, see Section V.
