Plan Bay Area 2050

Plan Bay Area is a long range plan that establishes the nine-county Bay Area region’s vision for land use and transportation. It demonstrates how the transportation network and land use development can work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create more complete, livable, and sustainable communities with sufficient affordable housing, more transportation choices, and easier access to vital services and amenities, such as public transit, shopping, schools, parks, recreation, and health care. The Transportation Authority coordinates San Francisco’s input to Plan Bay Area, including our list of specific transportation projects and programs to be included in the plan’s transportation investment strategy. Inclusion of projects and programs in Plan Bay Area is a prerequisite for receiving state and federal transportation grants, as well as a requirement for securing a project’s federal environmental document approval.
