If you missed the public workshops on Plan Bay Area back in January, you still have one last opportunity to weigh in during this second round of workshops.

Just last week the Metropolitan Transportation Commission released a second draft of the OneBayArea grant proposal. But it seems like for every step MTC took in the right direction, it took two more in the wrong direction.

How do the five different scenarios for Plan Bay Area measure up to the 10 goals and targets we’ve set for ourselves as a region? Let’s take a look.

MTC is supporting cities that are doing the most to plan for sustainable and equitable development near transit, but we’re watching to make sure MTC does the right thing.

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission is currently considering a proposal to create grant programs for sustainable growth. This is a key step forward, and we like a lot of what we see.

As you consider alternative land-use patterns for Plan Bay Area, Greenbelt Alliance has several suggestions:

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Association of Bay Area Governments presented the Initial Vision Scenario for Plan Bay Area, the region’s plan for the next 25 years.

In late January, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission approved an ambitious set of targets to increase the sustainability and decrease the car dependency of the Bay Area.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide additional input as you prepare initial staff recommendations for a full set of SCS Performance Targets.

On July 28, the Bay Area’s Metropolitan Transportation Commission voted to recommend greenhouse gas emission reduction targets of 15% per capita below 2005 levels — exactly the level that Greenbelt Alliance and our allies suggested.
