MTC Conducts Public Outreach On Plan Bay Area 2050 Update
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and its partner agency ABAG announced a schedule of “Pop-Up events” designed to gather public input on the development of Plan Bay Area 2050+, the update to the visionary long-range strategy document MTC adopted in 2021. During 18 events to be held throughout the Bay Area over the next six weeks, commission staff will invite residents to share their thinking on the broad topics of transportation, housing, economic development, and environmental resilience, as well as particular issues related to transit network expansion, housing affordability, and post-pandemic economic growth. Plan Bay Area 2050+ is scheduled for adoption in late 2025.
MTC and ABAG also welcome the public to comment this summer via phone, email, US mail and an online survey.

The Transportation Research Board (TRB) is hosting a 90-minute webinar on Tuesday afternoon, August 20, entitled, “Climate Change Impacts on the Seismic Performance of Bridges.” TRB notes, “Bridge life-cycle and performance under earthquakes are critically impacted by the effects of climate change phenomena such as scour, sea level rise, tsunamis, and permafrost degradation.” A panel of representatives from state DOTs, NIST, WSP USA, and academia will discuss the impacts of climate change, liquefaction, and recommended mitigation strategies. The session will be based on TRB Special Report 290: Potential Impacts of Climate Change on U.S. Transportation. Registration is being conducted online.
