ABAG stands for the Association of Bay Area Governments. Our mission is to strengthen cooperation and collaboration across local governments to build healthier, stronger communities.
ABAG is part regional planning agency and part local government service provider. We accomplish our goals by providing planning services and cost-effective ABAG member services to local governments struggling with rising costs and diminishing incomes.
Bay Area jurisdiction staff will find ABAG and MTC technical assistance resources to help with planning and implementing local policies and projects. Learn more.
