What would a seamless public transit system connecting the Bay Area look like? And how would it expand people’s access to housing and jobs?

- To answer these questions, Seamless Bay Area developed a map of an improved, regionally integrated transit network - called the Seamless Bay Area Vision Map. This map represents what transportation could be like in the future if the Bay Area planned and operated transit as a unified network. It builds on numerous existing transportation plans and input from stakeholders from across the region, but is also highly aspirational.

Network Planning Principles:

• Create an interconnected frequent transit network, facilitating seamless transfers between buses, rail, and ferries

• Maximize connections between major transit corridors, especially rail

• Utilize existing infrastructure where possible

• Provide transit service for a range of new growth centers throughout the region

• Support coordination of transit service with land use

• Give people options and create flexibility in the network

• Ensure local and regional networks work together in harmony; for certain corridors, allow a combination of regional and local service
