One Bay Area Grant Program (OBAG) 
The One Bay Area Grant, now in its third iteration, guides how the Metropolitan Transportation Commission distributes federal transportation funding from the Federal Highway Administration to projects and programs that improve safety, spur economic development and help the Bay Area meet climate change and air quality improvement goals. County Transportation Agencies released their calls for projects beginning in May 2022 and are expected to submit project nominations to MTC for final review in fall 2022. MTC staff will identify which projects will have the biggest impact in meeting Plan Bay Area 2050 goals, and then recommend those to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for adoption in January 2023. You can visit the One Bay Area Grant 3 (OBAG 3) page for more information on the program.
