Four Bay Area regional agencies have joined forces in a Joint Policy Committee to encourage focused growth through a voluntary, incentive-based program. Fittingly referred to as FOCUS, the program provides an opportunity for local governments and the regional agencies - Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) - to work together to create complete, livable communities. These communities will, in turn, help achieve a more efficient, equitable, and environmentally sustainable region.
