DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Availability of a Record of 

Decision (ROD) for the Proposed Bay 

Area Rapid Transit (BART) Connector 

Project at Oakland International Airport 

(OAK), Oakland, Alameda County, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of Record 

of Decision. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice 

to advise the public that it has issued a 

ROD for the proposed construction and 

operation of the proposed BART 

connector project at OAK. The ROD 

evaluated the proposed BART–OAK 

connector project at OAK, Oakland, 

Alameda County, California. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

has completed and issued its ROD for a 

proposed BART–OAK connector project 

at OAK, Oakland, Alameda County, 

California. The proposed airport 

connector project would operate on an 

Automated Guideway Transit (AGT) 

system on an exclusive, approximate 3- 

mile long right-of-way. The AGT would 

provide a link between the existing 

BART Coliseum station and the airport 

terminal. Approximately one mile of the 

connector project would be built on 

airport property. The connector project 

would improve access to OAK by using 

a direct and convenient connection to 

the existing regional BART rail transit 

system. The ROD discusses alternatives 

considered by FAA in reaching its 

decision, summarizes the analysis used 

to evaluate the alternatives, and briefly 

summarizes the potential environmental 

consequences evaluated in the FAA’s 

ROD. The ROD also identifies the FAA’s 

environmentally preferred alternative, 

applicable and required mitigation. The 

FAA submitted a letter to the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

on November 19, 2009, indicating the 

FAA was adopting the Federal Transit 

Administration (FTA) 2002 FEIS on this 

project and also re-circulated the EIS as 

a Final EIS for the FAA. EPA published 

the notice indicating FAA’s adoption of 

the FTA FEIS in the Federal Register on 

November 27, 2009. The comment 

period closed on December 28, 2009 and 

comments were received from the EPA. 

The FAA provided responses to the EPA 

comments in Appendix A of the ROD. 

Copies of the ROD are available for 

public examination during business
