ABOUT MTC
MTC was created by the California Legislature in 1970. The federal government, state Legislature and Bay Area voters have assigned MTC a wide-ranging portfolio of duties.
For starters, MTC is the metropolitan planning organization for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area. MTC is also the regional transportation planning agency for the Bay Area.
MTC directly distributes more than $700 million a year to local public transit agencies and other recipients, and prioritizes requests from local agencies for millions more in scarce state and federal funds.
Acting as the Bay Area Toll Authority, (BATA) MTC collects in excess of $600 million a year in bridge tolls, and allocates these funds for the operation and upkeep of the region's seven state-owned toll bridges.
We plan, invest and coordinate to keep the Bay Area mobile, sustainable and prosperous. At the same time as addressing the needs of a growing population, we are committed to preserving the diverse communities and natural beauty that make the Bay Area a desirable place to live and work.
