Over the next 30 years, MTC’s regional transportation plan is striving for a nearly 65% increase in the share of jobs that are accessible by a 45-minute transit ride, and aims to increase the share of commute trips made using transit to 20% from only 12% in 2018. To achieve more equitable mobility and reduced greenhouse gas emissions across the Bay Area, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) seeks to reduce automobile use and expand the share of trips taken on transit. This vision is not just desirable, it’s essential to delivering on our region’s transportation goals. Meanwhile, this fast and sustainable transit option reduces solo driving, improves air quality and helps the region meet its greenhouse gas emissions-reduction targets. The network delivers high-quality regional transit options to portions of the Bay Area that have historically been underserved, connects new destinations along corridors that already have some regional transit, and provides an alternative where existing regional rail has been filled to capacity. ![]() In this future, a fast, reliable and coordinated regional express bus network operating on a system of freeway express lanes connects transportation hubs throughout the region and beyond. ![]() ![]() Imagine a Bay Area where your school, your job and your friend in the next county are no more than 30 minutes away via convenient, reliable and enjoyable buses zipping along uncongested freeway express lanes throughout the day.
