The State - News from March 27, 1986

The federal Urban Mass Transportation Administration has signed an agreement to provide $112 million for Bay Area Rapid Transit’s Daly City Turnback project. The money will cover 75% of the cost of the project, which includes construction of three tracks extending 1.5 miles south of the Daly City terminus. Ground was broken for the project, which will permit faster train turnarounds, in February, 1985. The turnback is part of a BART expansion program that includes a recently completed third track in Oakland, purchase of 150 new cars and installation of a new computerized car control system.
