Summer 2024 Engagement

Public engagement is a fundamental element of the plan update process.
Update

Earlier this summer, MTC-ABAG staff released key findings from the Draft Blueprint analysis, as well as the Draft Transit 2050+ Network, followed by a public comment period to help address the challenges identified and finalize the Blueprint.

Staff hosted an online survey and a series of community “pop-up” workshops at various locations (details below) across the nine counties to gather community input. 

Staff will report back to the MTC Planning Committee on November 8, 2024, about what we heard during the Summer 2024 engagement period.

Survey

MTC-ABAG staff need your ideas to help reach the plan’s vision. A public survey, offered in English, Chinese, Spanish and Vietnamese, closed on September 9, 2024.

Pop-up Workshops

MTC-ABAG staff travelled across the nine Bay Area counties to speak to community members and gather input that will inform the development of the Plan Bay Area 2050+ Final Blueprint.
