Plan Bay Area Workshops

Plan Bay Area, one of our region's most comprehensive planning efforts to date, is set on planning for future growth that enhances the economy, environment, and social equity, and our communities' livability.  It is led by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in partnership with the Bay Area's other two regional government agencies, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, and the Bay Conservation Development Commission.

The agencies will be hosting a Plan Bay Area/YouChoose Bay Area workshop in each of the 9 Bay Area counties.  The San Mateo County workshop will be taking place Wednesday, April 27th from 5:30pm - 8:30pm at the San Mateo Public Library (55 West 3rd Street, San Mateo).  Participants will use a fun, interactive web-based simulation to outline priorities, consider different growth options, and see future consequences.  Space is limited.  Early registration is encouraged.  Refreshments will be provided.  RSVP at www.OneBayArea.org/workshops or (510) 817-5831.  Please leave your name, address, phone number and e-mail, and let them know you want to attend the workshop for San Mateo County. 

To get an idea of the type of public participations these regional agencies are seeking at these workshops, please visit www.youchoosebayarea.org.  Here, you be able to see and understand some of the challenges and trade-offs associated with the housing and transportation needs of the growing Bay Area.

We hope you will choose to get involved in this joint effort to create a prosperous, sustainable future by producing an integrated land-use/transportation plan looking forward to 2040!
