Company Overview

About MTC

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is the transportation planning, financing and coordinating agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area.
 

MTC helps the Bay Area's nearly eight million residents — and countless visitors — get around.
 

As a Metropolitan Planning Organization, MTC supports the region’s network of streets, roads, highways, public transit systems, airports and other transportation resources, including the movement of goods through ports and freight rail lines.
 

MTC touches it all, with a focus on building a better transportation system that works for everyone while supporting a resilient economy and environment.
 

MTC works with cities and counties to establish short- and long-term goals and provides resources to help them reach these goals. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, making safer streets that work for everybody and making sure all residents have equal access to transportation resources are just a few of these goals.

 

What is MTC? 
 

Equity Platform

MTC’s Equity Platform is based on a commitment to meaningfully reverse disparities in access and dismantle systemic exclusion.

At the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, equity means “inclusion into a Bay Area where everyone can participate, prosper, and reach their full potential.” The agency strives to advance equity through carefully considered investments and policies directed at historically underserved and systemically marginalized groups, including people with low incomes and communities of color.
 

By setting policies and delivering programs, holding ourselves accountable to data-backed results, and taking real actions, MTC aims to contribute to creating a Bay Area where everyone can thrive.
 

MTC’s driving focus is expanding mobility and access to opportunity for all. A fairer system must be nurtured and grown — it's not a one-time investment. We must work together to identify gaps and fill them equitably moving forward.
 

What is the Equity Platform?
 

The Equity Platform is meant to address equity challenges and inform how MTC approaches complex systems and environments. The Equity Platform is a process and practice to:
 

  • Create designs and solutions that focus on affected communities
  • Increase opportunity for those people most affected by exclusion
  • Shift decision-making power to the people who are affected by policies
  • Invest in training and education to advance goals for fairness and inclusion

At the core of the Equity Platform are a set of beliefs:
 

  • Racism is real, and must be acknowledged and dismantled
  • Designing for equity must start at the community level
  • Equity is intersectional

How Does the Equity Platform Work?
