The Great Communities Collaborative brings together residents and local organizations to participate in community planning processes across the San Francisco Bay Area. We want to create a region of vibrant neighborhoods with affordable housing, shops, jobs, and services within convenient walking distance near transit.

Members of the collaborative are combining their respective expertise and working with partners around the region to:

• Shape plans for specific transit-oriented developments in Bay Area communities and encourage resident participation in planning for those developments.
• Create tools that will help community leaders make better decisions about transit-oriented developments across the Bay Area and help citizens better understand, participate in, and influence plans for TOD.
• Secure increased private and public funding that will help to catalyze sustainable and equitable transit-oriented development in the Bay Area.
