According to the Bay Area News Group, BART has decided to try a spray-on coating on the floors of their elevators.

It is urine-resistant and BART officials say it is also non-toxic.
This is the third attempt at solving the problem, and it will cost around $340,000.
BART riders say this sounds like a band aid to a bigger problem that needs to be faced.

"I think they have to solve the homeless issue first. I think that would be the only way to truly remediate the issue, not just say, 'Let's spray something down.' I think it'll keep happening, and if they can't do it in the elevators they'll find somewhere to do it," Vallejo resident Jay Willis said.
It took BART four and a half months to experiment with different coatings before they found this one.
BART hopes to have this in place by April. They'll spray it on 80 of their 127 elevators.
