Community Based Transportation: What's the Plan?
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission is sponsoring 28 Community Based Transportation Plans (CBTPs) to identify the transit and mobility barriers facing low-income neighborhoods. Currently, the TJWG is involved in two CBTP processes: one in South/West Berkeley, and another in East Oakland. Berkeley-based planning firm Design, Community & Environment has been selected as the lead consultant for both the planning studies. Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS), a TJWG member, is involved in the outreach process for the SW Berkeley CBTP, and is currently working together with West Berkeley Neighborhood Development Corporation to ensure a robust outreach process.
The East Oakland CBTP also got underway recently, and Urban Habitat invites interested organizations to get involved with the process. In 2007, Urban Habitat plans to launch a campaign to get funding earmarked for CBTP-identified projects through the allocation process of the Regional Transportation Plan.
