The Oakland International Airport (within the San Francisco Bay Metro Area) is partnering with the Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) to address accessibility challenges via a new Connector Project that will integrate an automated people mover (APM) link from the Airport to the nearby BART Coliseum Mass Transit Station.

Unlike typical airport APM Projects, this new system will be an urban transit project with many airport implications. Upon completion, the approximately 3.2 mile elevated system will transport over 2 million passengers each year.

Based on similar experience and global reputation, JAI was awarded a major, multi-year contract to assist the Port of Oakland in the implementation of this Connector project. JAI's role in the project was to represent the Port of Oaklandʼs interests in the Connector project being implemented in conjunction with BART. As part of this assignment, JAI provided strategic and technical advice in all relevant areas such as:

• Interagency Contractual Issues
• System Design Integration and Interface Issues
• Turnkey Procurement
• Construction Management
• Financial and Cost Issues
• Construction and Operational Impacts
• Passenger and Baggage Flow Analysis
• Overall Risk and Liability Mitigation
• Security Concerns
• Schedule Coordination
• Numerous Others

The ultimate objective of this assignment was to prove the Port of Oaklandʼs excellence and vision by assuring a successful project.
