<div>BART is Bay Area Rapid Transit, a public transportation system with its own bureaucracy and publicly elected board.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Caltrans is a separate State bureaucracy, though it has a big office in the city of Oakland near BART Headquarters.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>And then there is Caltrain which is the commuter rail that runs down the peninsula. That organization has its own bureaucracy and board, too.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Lesson to be learned: don't use obscure acronyms unknown outside a small geographical region :)<br></div>

<div>Making it relevant again, also looking for a good contact within CALDOT (California Dept of Transportation) and the joint bridge authority for the Bay Bridge in San Francisco.<br></div>

<div>Inappropriate abbreviation. I mean sure, why not a NANOG Friday Fight Club, but why would you want to get in a ROW (noisy argument) with BART Simpson?<br></div>
