SUBJECT: REPORT ON THE DRAFT 1995 CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM UPDATE
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Support the changes proposed by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority's Technical
Coordinating Committee to the land use evaluation component of the Congestion Management
Program so that non-conformance with Measure C-1988 Action Plan process does not constitute
non-conformance with the Congestion Management Program.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact to the General Fund. The compliance requirements as defined in the Congestion
Managment Program (CMP) could threaten the County's eligibility for Proposition 1 1 1 funds if the
County does not comply with Measure C-1988. These funds are used primarily for road safety and
maintenance projects.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Contra Costa Transportation Authority's (Authority) Technical Coordinating Committee has
informed the Regional Committees and local agency staff of their concern about imposing Measure
C-1988 requirements as conditions for receiving local allocations of Proposition 111 gas tax
revenues, in cases where Measure C-1988 requirements are different than Proposition 111 (see
Exhibit A). The 1995 CMP Update does this by imposing the Measure C-1988 action plan process
for mitigation regional transportation projects as the condition for meeting the CMP's land use
evaluation requirement. The Technical Coordinating Committee's concern arises from the specific
test of compliance for the land use evaluation program in Proposition 1 1 1 which is significantly
different and less complex than the multi-jurisdictional action plan requirement of Measure C-1988.

1995 Congestion Management Program Update
August-21, 1995

BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS (continued)
The Authority's CMP requirement for the land use evaluation program appears to conflict with the Joint
Powers Agreement (JPA) that designates the Authority as the county's Congestion Management
Agency. That JPA states:
"It is expressly understood and agreed among the parties hereto that the Congestion Management
Program and the Growth Management Programs impose separate requirements upon the localAgencies.
Non-conformance with any requirement of one of such programs shall not constitute non-conformance
with a requirement of the other program, unless it also constitutes a separate requirement of the other
program. "
The JPA relates the CMP and Measure C-1988 to promote efficiency in meeting both statutes, but not
to link Measure C-1988 compliance with the CMP where they differ. As a result, the Technical
Coordinating Committee has prepared changes to the CMP which would provide local jurisdictions with
an alternative approach to meet the land use evaluation requirements of the CMP should they choose
not to comply with the Measure C-1988 action plan process for mitigating regional traffic impacts.
The Transportation Committee believes the concern identified by the Technical Coordinating Committee
is valid and the proposed modifications are consistent with the CMP statute and the JPA designating
the Authority as the Congestion Management Agency. The Committee urges the Board representatives
to the Regional Committees and the Authority to support the CMP changes proposed by the Technical
Coordinating Committee. The Authority will consider adoption of the CMP in October.
