The Draft Plan Bay Area is the region’s long-range transportation and land-use/housing blueprint, which charts a course for accommodating needed housing growth within our nine counties while at the same time decreasing greenhouse gas emissions from cars and light trucks.
The public comment period for both the Draft EIR and Draft Plan Bay Area extends until 4 p.m., Thursday, May 16, 2013. The Draft EIR and Draft Plan Bay Area are slated for adoption by MTC and ABAG in summer 2013.
An errata sheet for the Draft Plan Bay Area has been posted on the Plan’s website.
