5. Bay Area Travel Modes (All Daily Trips)

6. Three Agencies in One • MTC — Created by the Legislature in 1971. Planner, coordinator, manager and banker. Distribute over $1 billion per year in local, state and federal funds to transportation projects and services. • BATA — Created by the Legislature in 1998 to administer the base toll on the bridges, BATA is now responsible for the entire $4 toll, including overseeing the Toll Bridge Seismic Retrofit Program. • SAFE — Created by the Legislature in 1988. Oversees the region’s network of call boxes and the Freeway Service Patrol. Partners with Caltrans and CHP on Freeway Incident Management

7. Many Players in the Region • Caltrans • 101 cities and nine counties • Congestion Management Agencies (CMA) — recommend projects in the STIP for each county • Sales tax authorities — often the same as CMA, but not always • Transit agencies — 26 agencies, but SF Muni carries almost half of all riders. BART carries 20%, AC Transit carries 14 %, VTA carries 8% • Bay Area Partnership Board brings these entities together to review and advise on MTC policies
