BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Contra Costa County has required a Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
program for the Contra Costa Centre area since 1986 to encourage the use
of alternative modes of transportation by station area employees in order
to mitigate the traffic impacts resulting from the development of the
area. The County has entered into an agreement with the Contra Costa
Centre Association to management the TDM program for the Contra Costa
Centre area each year since 1990 . The property owners in the Pleasant
Hill BART Station Area have voted to approve a County Service Area with an
annual assessment to fund TDM.
The program offers commute alternative services to station area employees .
While there is no mandate requiring participation by employers or any
penalty for nonparticipation, the area employers and their employees have
been high participatory in the program. The TDM program goals of
achieving over 30% of the area employees travel to work via alternative
modes (transit, carpools, vanpools, bicycle, walk, telecommute, etc. ) have
consistently been met .
The project agreement for 2006-07 covers a 12-month period from July 1,
2006 to June 30, 2007 . It continues funding for operating vanpools, for
operation of a noontime shuttle service to nearby commercial areas, for
on-site transit ticket sales and for
