Plan Bay Area

Submitted by NVTA on May 3, 2013 - 11:23am

Every four (4) years the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) adopts a long-range transportation plan for the Bay Area Region known as the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). 

For the next iteration of the 25 year long-range plan, Plan Bay Area, MTC has partnered with the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) to address new requirements flowing from California’s 2008 Senate Bill 375 (Steinberg), which calls on each of the state’s 18 metropolitan areas to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from cars and light trucks. This is important because the transportation sector represents about 40 percent of the GHG pollution that scientists say is causing climate change.  

The mechanism for achieving these reductions will be a Sustainable Communities Strategy that promotes compact, mixed-use commercial and residential development that is walkable and bikable and close to mass transit, jobs, schools, shopping, parks, recreation and other amenities. If successful, Plan Bay Area will give people more transportation choices, create more livable communities and reduce the pollution that causes climate change.

On March 22, 2013, MTC and ABAG released the draft plan for public comment and review and on April 2, 2013, the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for comment.  The comment period on the Draft Plan and DEIR will close at 4:00 pm on May 16, 2013.  The final plan is to be adopted by summer 2013.
