OPPORTUNITIES:
Our region has often risen to big challenges. From economic downturns to natural disasters, we are resilient and know how to bounce back. Inspired by breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds us, we launched the environmental movement and joined forces to save San Francisco Bay. Our people are innovators, having sparked the high-tech revolution and the nation’s first modern rapid rail system. Yet despite this progress, our region must do more. We must rally our civic and business institutions, and our forward-looking citizenry, around a unified campaign to take actions big and small to help protect our environment, our enviable climate and our quality of life.
Let's join together!
One Bay Area is an acknowledgment that we can do this — all 101 cities, nine counties and 7 million of us! We need to join together to address issues like climate change, sustainable growth and development, transportation, and protection of our air and water. Through this initiative, we hope to harness the creativity, resources and force of will to build a better Bay Area today, and for future generations.
One challenge for our region is to develop a Sustainable Communities Strategy called for in 2008 state legislation (SB 375). This law calls upon our region and other areas throughout California to reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. The Bay Area’s regional agencies, together with their local government partners, nonprofit organizations, business and community groups, and interested Bay Area residents, are working together through this effort to tackle pressing issues such as accommodating population growth while keeping the region affordable for all our residents, preserving open spaces, protecting our environment, and getting residents where they need to go, when they need to get there.
We invite you to join in the dialogue to make our region, a better, more sustainable place! Please explore our site and get involved!
