The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) invite the public to an open house in Walnut Creek (Embassy Suites Hotel, Contra Costa Ballroom, 1345 Treat Boulevard) on Wednesday, May 10, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. to learn about an update to the region’s long-range transportation and housing roadmap known as Plan Bay Area 2040. This meeting in Contra Costa County is one in a series to be held in all nine Bay Area counties through May 22. More information about upcoming meeting times, dates and locations in all nine counties can be found here.

Bay Area residents who attend these open houses will have the opportunity to view displays; ask questions; and offer comments on the Draft Plan’s goals, proposed growth patterns, transportation investment strategy, and key actions identified to address ongoing and long-term regional challenges.

The public also is invited to attend a public hearing on Friday, May 12, at 9:40 a.m. in San Francisco (Bay Area Metro Center, 375 Beale Street) to comment on the Draft Plan, the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for Plan Bay Area 2040, the Draft Transportation-Air Quality Conformity Analysis for Draft Plan Bay Area 2040 and Amended 2017 Transportation Improvement Program.
