OAKLAND, CA-The Metropolitan Transportation Committee has proposed a long-range transportation plan, which outlines how $82 billion in projected federal, state and local transportation funds should be invested over the next 25 years.

The newly released Draft 2001 Regional Transportation Plan focuses on transportation but also projects the Bay Area’s population and employment growth, regional changes, and commuter trends.
