POSTPONED: SPUR staff is working to reschedule this digital discourse for early next year. For questions or comments, please reach out to SPUR Public Programs at [email protected]

In July, SPUR hosted a conversation with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and local developers about the prime opportunities that exist for more successful and equitable transit-oriented development (TOD) throughout the Bay Area — locations that could house thousands of jobs and residents in communities around existing transit. Four months later, the agency has developed new preliminary policy proposals for its updated TOD plan, drawing on rigorous analysis and years of research into best practices. Join us to learn what MTC is proposing, share your questions and concerns and help push the region towards more achievable transit-oriented development.

Co-presented by TransForm, Enterprise Community Partners and APA Northern California.
