Collaborate with local leaders to bolster civic engagement that ensures equitable regional planning efforts that foster community resilience, social equity and climate justice outcomes at the local level. One way we’ve done this is by being deeply involved in the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Plan Bay Area project, an ongoing process that weaves together transportation, housing, economic and environmental strategies, alongside an expanded set of growth geographies, to advance critical climate and equity goals. Recently, Plan Bay Area released their Final Blueprint, the first step toward developing Plan Bay Area 2050. A coalition of environmental stakeholders led by Greenbelt Alliance, Save the Bay and TOGETHER Bay Area assessed the Final Blueprint, offering our priorities for the environmental section of the Blueprint in order for it to be more robust and responsive to today’s challenges.
