Abstract:State and regional transportation agencies must spend public dollars in ways that are consistent with the goals of the communities they serve. Often, agencies seek to advance specific goals through competitive programs that award funds based on established criteria. However, local recipients must often use multiple funding sources in order to carry out a large or complex project; if the funding programs have contradictory requirements, it can jeopardize the project or compromise the agency's ability to develop flexible and holistic solutions. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the San Francisco Bay Area, sought to integrate its funding programs to increase local jurisdictions' flexibility while supporting State and regional livability and sustainability goals, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting health, safety, and equity. In order to fund projects that would support these goals, MTC recognized the need for coordination between transportation and other sectors, such as housing.
