In this eye-opening episode of the Purple Inspiration Podcast, host Judy sits down with Debora Allen — former BART Director, CPA, financial expert, and longtime public servant.

Debora served 8 years on the BART Board and brings an insider’s perspective on the agency’s deepening financial crisis. With a projected $376 million annual operating deficit, BART is heading to the November ballot asking Bay Area voters for a new ½ cent sales tax increase (1 cent in San Francisco) to help cover operations for BART, Muni, AC Transit, and Caltrain.
