MTC and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) invite Bay Area residents to help shape the future of the region through 2050 by providing their input at a series of “Pop-Up” events to be held in each of the nine Bay Area counties.
MTC and ABAG will host 18 Plan Bay Area 2050+ pop-ups over the next six weeks, with agency staff on hand to hear the public’s thoughts on strategies to meet the Bay Area’s goals for transit recovery, housing affordability, post-pandemic economic growth, and environmental health and sustainability. Public participation is key to the development of Plan Bay Area 2050+. The next edition of the region’s long-range plan for transportation, housing, economic development and environmental resilience is scheduled for adoption by MTC and ABAG late next year.
Conversations will focus on collecting input to inform the development of the Final Blueprint and address identified Draft Blueprint challenges; determining early priorities for implementing Plan Bay Area 2050+; and discussing the new Draft Transit 2050+ Network — which identifies a series of improvements that could be made over the next 25 years to keep the Bay Area’s transit network operating while expanding it for the future.
