Public Engagement Round 2 (Summer 2024)
Over the course of summer 2024, staff engaged in robust dialogue with the public and stakeholders across the nine-county Bay Area. The intent of this engagement was to:
- Share the outcomes from the Draft Blueprint analysis, as well as the Draft Transit 2050+ Network;
- Seek feedback on the challenges identified through the Draft Blueprint analysis and input on the initial Transit 2050+ recommendations and Draft Network; and
- Identify early priorities for implementation to inform the development of the Plan Bay Area 2050+ Implementation Plan.
The full report on summer 2024 engagement, including key findings, were presented to the MTC Planning Committee on November 8, 2024.

Survey
Staff conducted a survey in parallel with the pop-up workshops, giving participants the opportunity to weigh in on the development of the Draft Blueprint without having to attend an event in-person. The survey was conducted in Chinese, English, Spanish and Vietnamese from August 8 to September 9, 2024.
