| | New transit plan could link Pleasanton-San Joaquin Valley (December 20, 2002) |
 | | The plan, described as "strictly conceptual," was presented by Val Joseph Menotti, BART's Alameda County planning manager, and Thomas G. Matoff, director of transportation planning for LTK Engineering Services, which developed the plan. |
 | | Building on a policy recommendation to eventually extend BART service to Greenville Road in the I-580 median, the two planners told the Vision 2010 transportation committee that a combination of light rail and alternative diesel-powered trains could offer interim mass transit options. |
 | | Since it could be 10-20 years or more before BART extends its rail line to Greenville Road, Matoff suggested using a combination of light rail, express buses and multiple diesel units to extend mass transit service to Tracy and Stanislaus County destinations. |
