Get Your FREE hard copy of Plan bay Area

EDITOR'S NOTE : Just got my hard copy of the Plan Bay Area and recommend everyone get one.  It's free and you merely have to request it via email below.   It spells out in great marketing hype all of the "wonderful" plans they have for us.   Most notably,  Marinwood, Tam Valley and the Civic Center in San Rafael still appear as Potential PDAs.  So despite all this nonsense about "local control", apparently the bureaucrats at ABAG did not get the memo that planning should be local.

It is definitely worth putting in a time capsule.

The plan is available online and a limited number of printed copies are available via the MTC-ABAG Library. To request a printed copy, please email library@mtc.ca.gov or call (510) 817-5836. The long-range plan, which includes $292 billion in transportation investments through the year 2040, was developed over three years in collaboration with thousands of Bay Area residents and local government partners, as well as with a range of interested stakeholder organizations. Plan Bay Area is the nine-county region's first Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) to meet the requirements of California's landmark 2008 Senate Bill 375, which calls on each of the state's 18 metropolitan areas to include in the RTP a Sustainable Communities Strategy to accommodate future population growth and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars and light trucks. Working in collaboration with cities and counties, Plan Bay Area advances initiatives to expand housing and transportation choices, create healthier communities and build a stronger regional economy.
