To run the Dashboard at your local headquarters, you'll need a computer with a current web browser installed - we recommend Google Chrome or you can use our Android Smart TV app.

Micro SD
We currently offer a free MicroSD card for those who want to use a Raspberry Pi to run the Dashboard. It’s only available to those who have a dedicated Dashboard license registered, as we pre-configure the SD card with your Dashboard membership details.
To request your free microSD card with the BART Dashboard pre-loaded, please fill out the form here.
You will need to provide us with login details (ie Username and case sensitive password) to the registered dedicated Dashboard user/membership (license required) which will be used by the Raspberry Pi when it fires up the BART Dashboard in your station/unit/branch. Please provide these details in the ‘Please provide more information’ text field area.
