FROM: TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE _. .,� Costa
DATE: JULY 12 , 1993 County
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION SUPPORTING APPLICATION FOR MEASURE C - 1988 TDM FUNDS
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Adopt a resolution in support of the County's application for
Measure C transportation demand management (TDM) funds for the
County Employee TDM program.
FISCAL IMPACT
No impact to County funds. If Measure C funds are awarded to the
County by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority, this action
would have a positive impact.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Measure C - 1988, the Contra Costa Transportation Improvement and
Growth Management Program, provides annual grants for promoting use
of carpools, vanpools and park and ride lots as commute
alternatives. This year, $390, 000 is available for allocation.
The Community Development Department has submitted an application
for $124,775 to support the County Employee TDM Program. These
funds would be used to acquire four vans for vanpooling and laptop
computers, printers and modems to support the home telecommuting
program. The Board previously adopted a policy allowing employees
to use County vehicles for carpooling if participants paid all
County costs. Currently, all three available vans are in use and
a waiting list has been prepared for two additional vans. Staff
believes that a third and fourth van could also be filled. In
addition, 8 to 10 County cars are used for carpooling at any given
time.
