Due to the drop in ridership from the COVID-19 pandemic, BART's operating budget has been drastically reduced. We need to use the vast amount of data gathered by our systems daily to predict outages and prevent train delays and impacts to plant operations. Our data consists of detailed event logs from traction power, fire life safety, train control and passenger information systems, and human generated logs of maintenance activity and daily operations impacts.  If we could find a way to utilize our data more effectively, we could reduce our maintenance costs and provide improved train service to the entire Bay Area. BART would be able to do more with the limited funds available to handle system outages.
