Director Tom Blalock of Fremont was elected Thursday by his colleagues on the BART Board of Directors to serve as the board’s president for the next year.
It’s the third time that Blalock is serving as board chairman during his 20 years on the board.
Blalock said he is dedicated to expanding BART service further south and completing the Warm Springs extension in the southern part of Fremont is among the top priorities of his presidency.
BART directors also voted Thursday to elect Director Tom Radulovich of San Francisco to serve as their vice president.
Radulovich has been on the board since 1996 and served as its president in 2013, when workers staged two four-day strikes before an agreement was finally reached on a new contract.
As vice president, Radulovich is in line to become board president again at the end of next year.
Thursday was also the first board meeting for Director Nick Josefowitz of San Francisco. Josefowitz defeated James Fang, who had been on the board since 1990 and had been its longest-serving member, in the Nov. 4 election.
