About the Bay Area Transportation and Land Use Coalition
The Bay Area Transportation and Land Use Coalition is a groundbreaking
partnership of more than 50 groups working to maintain our region ís renowned
high quality of life, achieve greater social equity, and protect our natural
environment. Coalition members believe that current development patterns
do not have to be our destiny. Instead, the region can refocus public investment
to serve and revitalize existing developed areas; design livable communities
where residents of all ages can walk, bike, or take public transit; reform
transportation pricing; and redress the burdens and benefits of transportation
investments.
The coalition has regional meetings in Oakland, and sub-regional chapters
in Alameda County, San Francisco, and for the Peninsula/South Bay. For
more information including meeting times check the coalition web site at
