MTC — Created by the Legislature in 1971. Planner, coordinator, manager and banker. Distribute over $1 billion per year in local, state and federal funds to transportation projects and services.
BATA — Created by the Legislature in 1998 to administer the base toll on the bridges, BATA is now responsible for the entire $4 toll, including overseeing the Toll Bridge Seismic Retrofit Program.
SAFE — Created by the Legislature in 1988. Oversees the region’s network of call boxes and the tow trucks and specially trained drivers comprising the Freeway Service Patrol.

Many Players in the RegionMany Players in the Region
101 cities and nine counties
Congestion Management Agencies (CMA) ― recommend projects in the STIP for each county and administer various local programs
Sales Tax Authorities ― often same as CMA, but not always
Transit Agencies ― 26 agencies, but SF Muni carries almost half of all riders. BART carries 20%, AC Transit carries 14%, and VTA carries 8%
Caltrans ― District 4 is contiguous with MTC region
Bay Area Partnership brings these entities together to review and advise on MTC policies
