2007 Annual Report: Rising to the Challenge

2007 was a year of challenges met and mastered, and of miracles and milestones large and small for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and its counterpart, the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA). We tell the story of the mega projects and headline-grabbing events of 2007 largely in photos. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this report speaks volumes about the vital roles played by MTC and BATA in keeping the Bay Area moving.

About the Cover

Newspapers and TV news programs were filled with surrealistic scenes of a melted freeway overpass in the aftermath of a fiery tanker-truck accident in the early hours of Sunday, April 29, 2007. Not just any overpass, but a key connector in the region’s busiest interchange, the MacArthur Maze in Oakland. Rising to the challenge, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission teamed with Caltrans to mount an all-out effort to quickly repair the damage and ward off gridlock.
