Rendering of Coliseum BART station area revitalization project Plans for Guadalupe River Park Trail in San Jose Mixed-use Dublin Transit Center with high-density housing and retail Current MTC Program:Transportation For Livable Communities (TLC) • TLC offers three kinds of funding assistance Planning Grants • Planning Grants • Capital Grants • Housing Incentive Program (HIP) • Projects funded to date • 49 planning projects at $1.7 million • 59 capital projects at $48.6 million • 31 HIP projects at $9 million

19. TLC Program Overview • Grants for community based transportation projects (mixed-use, affordable housing) • Typical projects: pedestrian/transit-oriented streetscapes and developments (“transit villages”) • Encourage innovative thinking and community partnership • Grassroots projects encouraged

21. Housing Incentive Program • Focus on dense housing walkable to transit • New program, based on San Mateo model • Transportation funds awarded to local jurisdictions helping implement compact, transit-oriented housing • Grant funds = $9 million annually • Transportation funds for transportation projects consistent with TLC goals

22. Bay Area Regional Smart Growth • Sponsorship by 5 Bay Area regional agencies • ABAG, MTC, BAAQMD, BCDC, RWQCB • Commitment of almost $ 1.5 million in cash • Participation by Board members • Staff time for planning, analysis and support • Also sponsored by Bay Area Alliance • Coalition of 45 community and business groups • Represent the 3 Es: Economy, Environment and Social Equity • Further support by local jurisdictions/agencies

23. Smart Growth and Livability • Region expected to grow by 1 million people and 1 million jobs over next 20 years • Current trends result in • 265,000+ people commuting daily into the region • Worsening housing shortage and expense • Worsening congestion and air quality • Development of over 80,000 acres of greenspace

24. Smart Growth Alternatives “Central Cities” • Focus development in the region’s biggest cities, and biggest city or cities in each county “Network of Neighborhoods” • Develop in biggest cities as above, but less dense, plus additional compact, mixed use development along transportation corridors “Smarter Suburbs” • Growth in locations above but at lower densities. Additional growth at the region’s edges, balancing jobs to housing and housing to jobs

25. Smart Growth Project Results The Alternatives in Black and White These maps show in bold relief the impacts of the three smart growth alternatives — as well as the Current Trends Base Case — on urbanization in the Bay Area in the year 2020. They indicate primary areas of change in each alternative and the Base Case, including redevelopment of already developed areas (“infill”) and construction on currently undeveloped lands (“greenfields”).

26. Development of Action Plan Incentives and Regulatory Changes Focus on regional, State, & Federal actions • Fiscal Reforms • Issues of property tax, sales tax, tax sharing • Financial Incentives • Possible funding of smart zones, joint school community facilities, prioritizing housing and transportation funding • Regulatory Changes • Consideration of CEQA modifications, construction defect legislation, livable wage
