A Community Based Transportation Plan, or CBTP, is a public planning process that centers the voices of community members in identifying local transportation issues and solutions. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) launched the CBTP program to focus on Equity Priority Communities (EPCs)—areas with high concentrations of people of color, low-income households, and other historically marginalized groups.

Community-Based Transportation Plans generally include:

• Demographic analysis and neighborhood data

• Documented results of community outreach strategies

• Community-prioritized transportation gaps and barriers

• A list of strategies or solutions to address these gaps

• Identification of possible funding sources

• A list of stakeholders to implement the plan

Two lists of recommended transportation improvements based on community input – one for the City of San Leandro and one for Alameda County to adopt and incorporate into their Capital Improvement Plan.

Neighborhoods around the Bay Fair BART Station, including parts of San Leandro and Ashland in unincorporated Alameda County. The CBTP will focus on improvements to public streets and sidewalks—not private properties or BART-owned land. Please refer to the map on the about page for more details.

The City of San Leandro and Alameda County are the two organizations leading the effort.

Funding is provided by the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC).
