BART was the keystone of the spatial reorganization of the Bay Area global metropolis. The increased headquartering of transnational corporations in San Francisco’s financial district put an increased demand on the region’s already overextended transportation infrastructure. In building BART the region's Black population, as well as Latinos and Asians, were largely excluded from construction jobs. Their communities were ripped apart by the BART tracks. JOBART was an organization of local resistance to the economic, demographic, and spatial reorganization of the Bay Area being carried out by transnational capital from roughly the end of World War II to the early 1970s. This larger global perspective on JOBART’s situation will be developed further in this paper.
