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, there has been high participation in the program by both employers and employees. 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, 2012 to June 30, 2013. 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: None. ATTACHMENTS CCCentre TDM Contract 7-12
