BART has found a designer for its new fare gates.

The agency plans to award a $47 million contract to transportation infrastructure and equipment company STraffic, which will replace BART’s worn fare gates with modern ones.

“There’s an appetite out there to go ahead and get this thing done,” said Bob Powers, BART’s general manager, adding the agency will soon be on a “path that’s going to get us to a systemwide replacement very, very quickly.” 'Muni Raised Me': A San Francisco art show for San Franciscans Exhibition's paintings, photographs, textiles and more pay homage to The City’s public transit system

The replacement of fare gates throughout the system was originally estimated to cost $90 million, of which BART has already raised $72 million. BART will update that cost estimate, according to agency officials.
