Overview
The Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF) is a key partner of the Great Communities Collaborative, a joint funding effort to implement low-carbon and equitable transit-oriented development in the Bay Area. The main goals of the collaborative are to change the trajectory of urban growth in the Bay Area and be consistent with an 80 percent reduction of emissions in the state by 2050. With this grant, SVCF hopes to create a new coalition, the Transportation Equity Allied Movement Coalition, to provide a voice for low-income, transit-dependent residents to advocate for equitable development, transportation equity, and public transit funding in San Mateo County.
