    AWARD BACKGROUND:

            In September 2000, the American Public Works Association
            named BART as one of the "Top Ten" Public Works Projects
            of the 20th Century. Other "Top Ten" include the Hoover
            Dam, the Interstate Highway System, Panama Canal and
            Golden Gate Bridge.

            "Friends of BART to SFO" is a nonprofit organization
            created to organize and fund at no cost to the public the
            celebrations associated with the start of regular fare
            service on June 22nd. Conventional fare service on the new
            four-station BART extension, including SFO, will commence
            on Sunday, June 22nd.
