Regional Planning

See an overview of all of TransForm's campaigns and programs.
  • Bringing Regional Smart Growth to Life
    The Bay Area's regional agencies have now launched FOCUS, an initiative to implement the region's smart growth strategy.
  • Bus Rapid Transit
    Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a revolutionary new approach to public transit that offers speed, comfort and flexibility. BRT lines are now planned for San Francisco, the East Bay, and the South Bay. Learn how we can revolutionize transit.
  • Great Communities Collaborative
    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 that half of new homes are in walkable neighborhoods that are near transit and rich with jobs and services.
  • High-Occupancy-Toll and Express Bus Lanes
    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.
  • Regional Transportation Plan 2009 Update
    The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's 25-year, $100+ billion blueprint for how transportation funding will be spent in the Bay Area - and a huge opportunity to shape how the Bay Area grows. This update of the RTP is especially exciting because MTC has stated their interest in prioritizing climate change and land use in decision making.
  • World-Class Transit Report
    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.
