Pleasant Hill B.A.R.T. /TSM Program Contract, pg.' 2
In December 1989, the Redevelopment Agency made the first repayment
of the loan. The Redevelopment Agency' s repayment now allows use
of the Pleasant Hill B.A.R.T. TSM Fee Account to fund TSM
activities within the Pleasant Hill B.A.R.T. Station Area, as was
originally intended.
Between 1987 and the present, the Contra Costa Centre Association has developed
and operated a TSM Program within the Pleasant Hill B.A.R.T. Station at its own
cost. Attaining a 22.8% non-single occupant vehicle rate is the result of the
Centre Association's efforts and financial commitment to the TSM Ordinance and
TSM programs. This TSM rate is 2. 8% above the 20% target specified in the TSM
Ordinance. With the implementation of the Vanpool Program, an additional 3%
increase should occur in the non-single occupant vehicle rate.
The attached Pleasant Hill B.A.R.T. TSM Program Contract will allow continuing
progress in reducing single occupant vehicle use by maintaining and expanding
the efforts developed by the Contra Costa Centre Association. Over the past
several months the Pleasant Hill B.A.R.T. Station Area TSM Advisory Committee,
the Centre Association, and County staff developed a budget, using the TSM Fee
Account funds, which expands the TSM Programin the Pleasant Hill B.A.R.T.
Station Area. The expanded . TSM Program includes an on-site TSM Coordinator;
monetary incentives. for .participants in the vanpool program; and, monetary
incentives/awards . for carpoolers, transit riders,1 and others not driving alone.
The Pleasant Hill B.A.R.T.. TSM Advisory Committee has reviewed the proposed
budget for the TSM Program for FY90-91, recommends its funding using the
Pleasant Hill B.A.R.T. TSM Fees, and recommends contracting with the Contra
Costa Centre Association to carry out the TSM. Program for the Station Area.
The proposed contract includes funding for the Contra Costa Centre Association
to hire staff to carry out the TSM. Program; incentives for persons using
vanpools, carpools, transit; and funding for marketing activities related to the
TSM program in the Pleasant Hill B.A.R.T. Station Area.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION;
The TSM Fees were specifically established to fund TSM efforts/programs within
the Pleasant Hill B.A.R.T. Station Area. Without use of these fees, no funding
exists to operate the TSM Programs. Without use of the TSM Fees attaining the
TSM Ordinance goals will not be possible.
