The SF Examiner reports that the BART board agreed to a new policy on when the agency should be able to shut down cellphone service:
Although it approved an informal policy in August to only shut down service under extreme “9/11” circumstances, the agency’s board was set to vote on an official resolution in October.
However, the board delayed the vote due to concerns over the resolution’s wording.
On Thursday, a revised policy was approved unanimously by the nine-person board.
The updated resolution contains language about BART’s mission and includes guidelines recommended by the FCC.
Those additions, inserted into the resolution on Wednesday night, acknowledge that cellphones play a crucial role in the country’s economy and democracy, and that the benefits of shutting down service should outweigh the public safety risk of doing so.
