Subject:REAPPOINTMENT TO THE WESTERN CONTRA COSTA TRANSIT AUTHORITY BOARD OF
DIRECTORS
BACKGROUND:
The Western Contra Costa County Transit (WCCTA) was established in August 1977 as a Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement between the County of Contra Costa and the cities of Hercules and Pinole. The agency was created with
the purpose of owning, operating and administering a public transportation system serving the area between the
Richmond/El Sobrante border to the west and the Al Zampa Memorial bridge to the east. WCCTA is governed by a
7-member Board of Directors and supported by professional staff. The two cities of Pinole and Hercules are each
represented by two members, while the unincorporated communities of Crockett, Rodeo, and MonTaraBay each have
one representative, appointed by the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors. Terms are two years in length.
The WCCTA service area comprises just over 20 square miles of West Contra Costa County, including the cities of
Pinole and Hercules and the unincorporated areas of Montalvin Manor, Bayview, Tara Hills, Rodeo, Crockett, and
Port Costa. The area is bounded to the north by the Carquinez Strait, the city limits of Pinole and Hercules to the east,
the Richmond city border to the south, and by San Pablo Bay to the west. In addition, WestCAT operates regional
service between Martinez and the Hercules Transit Center, transbay service between the Hercules Transit Center and
the San Francisco Transbay Terminal, and regional service between the Hercules Transit Center and Contra Costa
College. Currently, population in the WCCTA service area is approximately 62,000 inhabitants.
Ms. Robles and Ms. Powers have done an excellent job as Board Members and Supervisor Uilkema would like to
reappoint them for another two year term.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The seats will be unfilled.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
