ABOUT THE TEAM The Regional Planning Program section at MTC/ABAG is a multidisciplinary team that applies data-driven planning to improve the trajectory of the San Francisco Bay Area. One of our core deliverables is Plan Bay Area, which we update every four years. This long-range plan lays out a set of strategies for how to achieve a region that is affordable, connected, diverse, healthy and vibrant for all. In developing the plan, our team takes on some of the most difficult and important challenges facing the region: how to make living in the region affordable for existing and future residents, how to create a safe and effective transportation system, and how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The section consists of four teams: Major Plans, Transportation Planning, Housing and Local Planning, and Forecasting/Modeling and Surveys.

Our team strives to create quality modeling tools that embody our section’s goals for planning excellence; we emphasize transparency by creating open-source models, and we value collaboration with other agencies and partners in developing shared resources. The FMS team focuses on the application of economic models, urban development models, and travel models, including developing new features for some of these models as new analysis needs arise. FMS also conducts regular travel diary surveys and transit passenger surveys to inform these tools and other research questions of interest to the agency.
