Remebering Loma Prieta Twenty years ago this month, at 5:04 p.m. on October 17, 1989, a 7.1-magnitude earthquake centered near Santa Cruz struck the Bay Area causing major damage
BART working to strengthen system against future quakes
The Loma Prieta earthquake collapsed a portion of the Cypress freeway in Oakland and knocked down a section of the upper deck of the Bay Bridge.
To upgrade the original BART system to ensure safety and functionality after a major earthquake, BART has begun the Earthquake Safety Program.
It was the sharpest jolt to hit the Bay Area since 1906, and in just a few devastating seconds gave BART the prime responsibility for moving commuters back and forth across the Bay.
The upgrades use the latest seismic standards to improve structural integrity of BART facilities.
During the closure of the Bay Bridge, BART operated service between midnight and 6 a.m. BART also placed additional cars in service and scheduled trains at more frequent intervals throughout the day. Thousands of commuters switched to BART to get to and from work breaking records for weekday ridership, including a new record high of 357,135 on November 16.
BART’s success in maintaining continuous service directly after the Loma Prieta earthquake reconfirmed the system’s importance. Unlike Loma Prieta, which was centered more than 50 miles south of San Francisco, future earthquakes could be close to, or directly under the BART system. BART is one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s most vital transportation links, Earthquake Safety continued on back

BART is there for you... Anyone who was in the Bay Area just after five p.m. on October 17, 1989 will never forget the harrowing moments of the Loma Prieta earthquake. The 7.1-magnitude quake collapsed a portion of the Cypress freeway in Oakland and knocked down a segment of the upper deck of the Bay Bridge. BART’s facilities withstood the temblor with minimal damage, allowing the system to resume service within hours and expand service as crews repaired the Bay Bridge and the region’s freeways. To keep the Bay Area moving, BART operated train service around-the-clock and operated increased service all day for over one month. Throughout our thirty-seven year history, BART has been proud to provide consistent, safe, and reliable service on a daily basis and in extraordinary circumstances, such as after the 1989 quake and as recently as last month when BART ran overnight service while the Bay Bridge was closed for construction.
