Overview
TransFormCA works to create world-class public transportation and walkable communities in the Bay Area. With this grant, TransFormCA would continue the establishment of designated safe routes for children walking and biking to school, promote full implementation of the Alameda County Bus Rapid Transit system, and help ensure that future residential development in the Bay Area includes more affordable housing near transit stations and routes. Ultimately, TransFormCA’s programs would ensure the reduction of vehicle emissions contributing to climate change and air pollution.

Grants to this Grantee
for mobility improvements in the San Francisco Bay Area
TransFormCA is a long-standing partner and grantee of the Hewlett Foundation. The organization works to promote walkable communities with excellent transportation choices to connect people of all incomes to opportunity, keep California affordable and help solve climate change. This grant will support the implementation of an innovative incentive program for improving mobility in the San Francisco Bay Area’s main highways, with the support of San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.
for the ClimatePlan Program
TransFormCA works to create world-class public transportation and walkable communities. This grant would support ClimatePlan, a program that convenes and coordinates efforts to reduce carbon emissions from transportation and land-use planning in California through the implementation of Sustainable Community Strategies in five metropolitan regions: the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, San Joaquin Valley, Los Angeles, and San Diego. The focus for this coming year is preparing the next set of long-term greenhouse gas reduction targets, taking into account equity issues and underserved communities in the state.
