Architecture & Urban Planning

We are very excited to be working with a cohort of innovative developers that are breaking the mold and setting a new bar by providing transit passes and carshare memberships for 40 years!

Stuart Cohen co-founded TransForm in 1997 to promote world class transit and walkable, affordable communities. Since then TransForm has united diverse coalitions and developed effective, implementable proposals that advance an environmental, social equity and public health agenda in the Bay Area -- and increasingly throughout California. Stuart spearheaded the successful campaign for the Bay Area’s smart growth visioning process in 1998, the first regional blueprint in California.

How does urban sprawl and highway expansion impact the environment and the quality of life? That question is being addressed by TransForm, a coalition of environmental, social justice and public health groups in the San Francisco Bay Area.

By 2015, more than 15.5 million Americans 65 and older will live in communities where public transportation service is poor or non-existent. Stuart Cohen, Executive Director of TransForm and 1996 Switzer Fellow, talks about a new report entitled Fixing the Mobility Crisis Threatening the Baby Boom Generation.
