Plan Bay Area 2040 - Draft Plan

Plan Bay Area 2040 projects that the San Francisco Bay Area will grow by over 2 million people, more than 1 million jobs, and over 800,000 housing units between 2010 and 2040. Much of this growth is anticipated to be located in Priority Development Areas (PDAs), or designated areas identified by local jurisdictions to be appropriate for residential and commercial development. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Association of Bay Area Governments have been listening for months to public comment on the Draft Plan to revise Plan Bay Area 2040.

Plan Bay Area 2040 - Scenarios

MTC and its partner regional agency — the Association of Bay Area Governments — have developed three alternative scenarios for how we will work, live and get around in 2040. Titled “Main Streets,” “Connected Neighborhoods” and “Big Cities,” these scenarios are described in this new video. The agencies are now seeking public input on these scenarios through online forums and outreach meetings in each of the nine Bay Area Counties. The preferred scenario will form the foundation for Plan Bay Area 2040, which will be adopted in 2017.
