Public comments on transportation sought for Plan Bay Area 2050
The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) are seeking comments on Plan Bay Area 2050, considered to be a long-term framework for the region. The plan outlines 35 integrated strategies across four key issues — housing, the economy, transportation, and the environment — to make the Bay Area more equitable for all residents and more resilient in the face of unexpected challenges. A draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was released in June, and the agencies have hosted three public meetings to solicit comment. Certification of the Final EIR and adoption of the proposed Plan Bay Area 2050 is slated for this fall.
The comment period for the Draft EIR will close on Tuesday, July 20, 2021, at 5 p.m. Comments will be accepted via email to eircomments@bayareametro.gov; via mail to MTC Public Information, Attn: DEIR Comments, 375 Beale Street, Suite 800, San Francisco, CA, 94105; or via fax to 415.536.9800.
