metropolitan transit commission (mtc)
The following information comes directly from the MTC website and links have been included for your convenience.
What does MTC do?
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) was created by the California Legislature in 1970 to plan the transportation network for the nine Bay Area counties. As the bay area grew, MTC's responsibilities increased, until today MTC is three agencies in one with a wide range of duties and a shared mission: : to keep the Bay Area moving. In addition to its original charge to plan, finance and coordinate Bay Area transportation, MTC, as the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA), is directing an $11 billion program to improve the region’s bridges and protect them against earthquakes. And, as the Service Authority for Freeways and Expressways (SAFE), MTC oversees a regionwide network of freeway call boxes and roving tow trucks.
The three agencies are directed by MTC’s 19-member policy board. To help achieve its mission, MTC is aided by several citizen advisory committees and by a coalition of federal, state, regional and local agencies that are responsible for transportation and environmental quality in the Bay Area.
MTC has a staff of some 160 and an annual operating budget (including consultant contracts) of about $88 million, which is funded from local, regional, state and federal transportation funds.
In recent years, MTC and BATA have been involved in everything from selecting the design for the new, seismically safe eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge to developing the Bay Area’s 511 traveler information system, a free service available 24/7 on the phone at 511 and on the Web at 511.org.
