Transit 2050+
Transit 2050+ aims to lay the foundation for a service-oriented, fiscally constrained transit network plan for the Bay Area.
MTC is working closely with the region’s transit operators on Transit 2050+ — a parallel long-range planning effort to Plan Bay Area 2050+ that will develop a first-of-its-kind plan to re-envision the future of the public transit network in the nine-county Bay Area.
Rapid changes in commute patterns brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as significant reductions in anticipated transit revenues through 2050, demand a comprehensive overhaul of the six transit-related strategies included in Plan Bay Area 2050.
Transit 2050+ is responsible for updating these transit strategies with the goal of creating a comprehensive regional transit network concept. When finalized, this Transit 2050+ network concept will be incorporated into the Plan Bay Area 2050+ Final Blueprint in late 2024.
Transit 2050+ had its origins in two previous planning efforts:
- The Transit Transformation Action Plan, which aims to improve the Bay Area’s public transportation network to create a more user-friendly and connected system.
- The Plan Bay Area 2050 Implementation Plan, which identified the development of a new transit modal plan known as the Connected Network Plan (CNP). The CNP would take a service-oriented approach to creating an aspirational transit vision for the Bay Area.
By considering and combining the goals of both plans, Transit 2050+ is re-imagining a Bay Area public transit system that is service-based, hub-oriented and fiscally responsible.
