Subject:Transportation Demand Management Program - Contra Costa Centre
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
program for the Contra Costa Centre area since 1986 to encourage the use of alternative
modes of transportation by BART 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 manage the TDM program for the
Contra Costa Centre area each year since 1990. The property owners in the Contra Costa
Centre 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 covers a 12-month period from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010. It
continues funding for operating vanpools and a noontime shuttle service to nearby
commercial areas, for on-site transit ticket sales and for marketing and management of a
variety of transit subsidy and incentive programs.
