Priority Conservation Areas (2025)

This data layer, approved by the ABAG Executive Board in September 2025, maps all designated Priority Conservation Areas (PCAs) and their geographic boundaries. It incorporates all amendments approved following the PCA Refresh Final Report as well as the 2025 call for new PCA nominations. The PCA Refresh Final Report, adopted by the Association of Bay Area Governments’ Executive Board in May 2024, reformed the PCA planning framework by assessing the previous program, establishing an updated vision, goals, and objectives, and providing new eligibility maps to improve consistency and structure. As part of these reforms, existing PCAs were amended to align with the updated framework. Visit the PCA Website (https://mtc.ca.gov/planning/land-use/priority-conservation-areas-pcas) to learn more about PCAs, the Refresh, and the 2025 PCA nomination and amendment processes.本数据图层于2025年9月获ABAG执行委员会批准，完整绘制了所有已划定的优先保护区域（Priority Conservation Areas，简称PCAs）及其地理边界。本图层纳入了《优先保护区域更新最终报告》（PCA Refresh Final Report）获批后的所有修订内容，以及2025年发起的全新优先保护区域提名征集活动相关材料。该《优先保护区域更新最终报告》于2024年5月获旧金山湾区政府协会（Association of Bay Area Governments，ABAG）执行委员会审议通过，通过评估既有项目体系、确立更新后的愿景、目标与工作要点，并发布全新的资格认定地图以提升规划的一致性与规范性，对优先保护区域规划框架完成了系统性改革。作为此次改革的配套内容，现有优先保护区域均已完成修订以适配更新后的规划框架。如需了解更多关于优先保护区域、本次更新活动以及2025年优先保护区域提名与修订流程的详细信息，请访问优先保护区域官方网站（https://mtc.ca.gov/planning/land-use/priority-conservation-areas-pcas）。
