Plan Bay Area

Plan Bay Area 2040 is a state-mandated law that aims to integrate sustainable strategies to reduce transportation-related pollution and external greenhouse gas emission within the nine-counties of the San Francisco Bay Area. It is also known as the implementation of the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008 or SB 375. The plan addresses methods of transportation, land-use, and housing. Over the next 25 years, the Bay Area is expected to grow by an estimated 2 million people and because of the projected growth and the growing economy, the Bay Area must provide more housing and transportation choices that will reduce their carbon footprint.

The goal of this plan is to improve on their earlier efforts of network and growth within the context of finance and environmental responsibility. Like all plans, it is a work in progress that is updated every four years to reflect on new priorities and changes with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The plan was approved on July 18, 2013 by the Association of Bay Area Governments and by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.

The adoption of the plan by regional planners was covered by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Employment

The Bay Area is home to a high concentration of knowledge-based industries, research centers and universities. It is located at one of the most famous tech clusters widely known throughout the globe as Silicon Valley. With the various industries available within the region, it does not come as a surprise that the Bay Area is also home to a highly educated and international labor market.
