In 2005, BART required nearly $300&nbsp;million in funds after fares. About 37% of the costs went to maintenance, 29% to actual transportation operations, 24% to general administration, 8% to police services, and 4% to construction and engineering. In 2005, 53% of the budget was derived from fares, 32% from taxes, and 15% from other sources, including advertising, station retail space leasing, and parking fees.<ref name="bart_ar">{{Cite report |url=http://www.bart.gov/docs/AR2005.pdf |title=BART 2005 Annual Report |date=2005 |access-date=August 28, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060922203544/http://www.bart.gov/docs/AR2005.pdf |archive-date=September 22, 2006 |url-status=dead }}{{Cite report |url=http://www.bart.gov/docs/AR2005.pdf |title=BART 2005 Annual Report |date=2005 |access-date=August 28, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060922203544/http://www.bart.gov/docs/AR2005.pdf |archive-date=September 22, 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref> BART reported a [[farebox recovery ratio]] of 75.67% in February 2016,<ref>{{Cite web |title=BART 2016 Factsheet |url=https://www.bart.gov/sites/default/files/docs/2016Factsheet_v11.pdf |access-date=April 18, 2016 |website=BART.gov |publisher=Bay Area Rapid Transit}}</ref> up from 2012's 68.2%.<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=December 6, 2012 |title=Sustainable BART |url=http://news.theregistrysf.com/sustainable-bart/ |magazine=The Registry SF}}</ref> BART train operators and station agents have a maximum salary of $62,000 per year with an average of $17,000 in overtime pay.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Griffin |first=Melissa |date=June 13, 2013 |title=BART labor seeking more money for not laboring |work=[[The San Francisco Examiner]] |url=http://www.sfexaminer.com/sanfrancisco/bart-labor-seeking-more-money-for-not-laboring/Content?oid=2459157}}</ref> (BART management claimed that in 2013, union train operators and station agents averaged about $71,000 in base salary and $11,000 in overtime, and pay a $92 monthly fee from that for health insurance.)<ref>{{Cite news |date=July 3, 2013 |title=San Francisco rail strike continues as commuters face third day of chaos |work=[[The Guardian]] |agency=[[Associated Press|AP]] |location=London |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jul/03/san-francisco-bart-rail-strike}}</ref>
