The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) is an electricity powered commuter transit line. Electrification is provided by "traction power" substations located along the transit line right-of-way. BART proposes improvements
to one of its existing traction power substation, referred herein as "KMA", KMA is located below the track level structures, on the south side of 40th Street, between Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Telegraph Avenue, in the City of Oakland, in Alameda County.
The proposed project would require facility upgrades, procurement and installation of replacement equipment for the existing traction power substation which currently supplies power for BART operations on the K Line. Please see Attachment A for additional information.
