Lunchtime Forum

The Bay Area's current system of regional governance includes a series of single purpose regional agencies. In the past, several attempts have been made to merge them but only recently, with a new study proposing combining ABAG and MTC, have these attempts seemed feasible. What are the outcomes of this study and what does it mean for better integrated regional planning in the Bay Area?
