City and county streets are the local foundations of the Bay Area's vehicular transportation system. MTC works with cities and counties so that the region’s streets and roads work to reduce congestion and ease movement throughout the region.
Arterial Operations
By helping cities and transit operators manage the timing of traffic signals on arterials, MTC helps improve travel times, reduce exhaust emissions and enhance traffic safety.
Innovative Deployments to Enhance Arterials (IDEA)
MTC’s technical assistance grant program helps cities and jurisdictions improve the operation of major arterial roadways.
Pavement Condition Index
MTC helps Bay Area cities and counties assess and analyze their pavement conditions to help them decide how to invest dollars for road maintenance.
Technology Transfer Program
MTC offers periodic free, half-day seminars for traffic engineers, planners, students, and others on topics selected at Arterial Operations Committee meetings.
Local Streets & Roads Working Group
The Local Streets & Roads Working Group provides a forum for cities to advocate for pavement maintenance funding.
Technical Assistance
