In this latest edition of our podcast series “Hidden Tracks: Stories from BART” we take you behind the scenes of the Operations Control Center.  The OCC is the nerve center of the BART system.  This is where a dedicated team of problem solvers oversees BART's critical infrastructure as well as all of the trains as they carry tens of thousands of passengers.   Public safety and doing everything possible to keep the trains on time are critical concerns. It’s a fast-paced environment where collaboration is the key.  In this episode we hear from one of the managers of the control center as well as a train controller who has been with BART for more than two decades.
