The VTA’s BART extension is facing scrutiny as a new report highlights governance gaps and ballooning costs—already $694 million spent since 2019, with another $150 million approved for design. While officials vow to improve transparency and finalize a clearer financial roadmap by 2027, they’re also pivoting to a single tunnel to cut costs and close a near-$1 billion funding gap. Board members admit they need stronger oversight but reject halting progress, emphasizing long-term maintenance and collaboration with BART to avoid costly design mistakes. The Auditor General’s role remains under review, but the focus is on refining—not stopping—the transit upgrade connecting Berryessa to downtown San Jose and Santa Clara.
