Regional Planning

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a revolutionary new approach to public transit that offers reliablity, reliability, comfort and flexibility. BRT lines are now being planned for San Francisco, the East Bay, and the South Bay. Learn how we can revolutionize transit.

The Great Communities Collaborative is helping Bay Area communities plan for neighborhoods near transit. With 1.7 million new people expected over the next 25 years, the Collaborative's goal is for all people in the Bay Area to live in complete communities, affordable across all incomes, with nearby access to quality transit by 2030.

The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's 25-year, $200+ billion blueprint for how transportation funding will be spent in the Bay Area - and a huge opportunity to shape how the Bay Area grows.

High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes allow solo drivers into High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes when there is space, but for a fee. The proposal for a regional HOT network is gaining momentum, and TransForm and Urban Habitat will be working to make sure the network benefits low-income communities and the environment.

The Bay Area's regional agencies have now launched FOCUS, an initiative to implement the region's smart growth strategy.

TransForm's World Class Transit for the Bay Area report and a variety of follow-up reports lay out the case for a transportation system that makes much better use of our existing network, and can help us meet key regional goals cost-effectively.
