Transportation 2030 Plan

Phase One December 2003 Actions: New Goals, Land-Use Strategy and Breakthrough Investment Choices

Phase One of the Transportation 2030 process came to a close in December 2003 as the Commission voted to adopt six goals for the new plan, approved a five-point platform for transportation and land-use integration, and authorized a regional investment strategy for an estimated $9 billion in new investments, with specific financial targets for rehabilitation, regional programs and discretionary investments to be determined at the county level during Phase Two of the Transportation 2030 process. The Commission also adopted criteria for evaluating commitments carried over from the existing 2001 Regional Transportation Plan and established specific county investment targets for Phase Two.

The Commission's vote, and an earlier recommendation by MTC's Planning and Operations Committee, reflect a concerted effort to ensure a properly balanced transportation system for the Bay Area. When compared to the existing 2001 Regional Transportation Plan, MTC Resolution 3609 provides an expanded investment level for both road and transit shortfalls; sustains several important regional programs – including TransLink®, 511 and the Freeway Service Patrol – at current levels; and provides funding for the first time for the Bay Area's Lifeline Transportation Network and the regional bicycle/pedestrian program.
