At the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, equity means “inclusion into a Bay Area where everyone can participate, prosper, and reach their full potential.” The agency strives to advance equity through carefully considered investments and policies directed at historically underserved and systemically marginalized groups, including people with low incomes and communities of color.
By setting policies and delivering programs, holding ourselves accountable to data-backed results, and taking real actions, MTC aims to contribute to creating a Bay Area where everyone can thrive.
MTC’s driving focus is expanding mobility and access to opportunity for all. A fairer system must be nurtured and grown — it's not a one-time investment. We must work together to identify gaps and fill them equitably moving forward.
What is the Equity Platform?
The Equity Platform is meant to address equity challenges and inform how MTC approaches complex systems and environments. The Equity Platform is a process and practice to:
- Create designs and solutions that focus on affected communities
- Increase opportunity for those people most affected by exclusion
- Shift decision-making power to the people who are affected by policies
- Invest in training and education to advance goals for fairness and inclusion
Equity Platform Beliefs
At the core of the Equity Platform are a set of beliefs:
- Racism is real, and must be acknowledged and dismantled

- Equity is intersectional
