San Francisco Bay Area Vision Project

As outlined in MTC's Transit-Oriented Development Policy (PDF), future transit extensions in the Bay Area must be matched by supportive local land use plans and policies. To assist cities in meeting these goals, MTC launched a Station Area Planning grant program in 2005 to fund city-sponsored planning efforts for the areas around future stations. These station-area and land-use plans are intended to address the range of transit-supportive features that are necessary to support high levels of transit ridership.
