Subject:Transportation Demand Management Program - Contra Costa Centre Area
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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 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 percent of the area employees travel to work
via alternative modes (transit, carpools, vanpools, bicycle, walk, telecommute, etc.) have
consistently been met.
The proposed project agreement covers a 12-month period from July 1, 2011 to June 30,
2012. It continues funding for operating vanpools and a noon time 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.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Contra Costa Centre Association members who have paid an annual assessment for
Transportation Demand Management services would be unable to provide them.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
