About Us

Developing GreenTRIP

TransForm secured seed funding from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's Climate Protection Grant Program, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Silicon Valley Community Foundation and Union Bank.

We have been working with our GreenTRIP Advisory Committee since June 2008 to create the certification standards and process for the program. The Advisory Committee represents a variety of stakeholder groups and expert advisors including: city planners, developers, transportation/development consultants, academics, and transportation agency staff.

September 2009 - February 2010: Certified First Five Projects and Evaluated Pilot Program

  • Certified the first five projects in the pilot test. See details on the Certified Projects page. 
  • Completed a full evaluation of the pilot test.

Ongoing

  • Communications: We regularly give presentations to explain the GreenTRIP program, gain feedback on program design, and inform marketing materials.
  • Policy: We are coordinating with state and national efforts to better integrate parking and transportation factors into regulation, policies and independant programs that assess the transportation impacts of individual developments.
