HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 07162013 - C.50RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract with
the Contra Costa Centre Association in an amount not to exceed $313,923, for transportation demand management
services for the Contra Costa Centre area, for the period July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None to the General Fund. 100% County Service Area M-31 funds. The commercial property owners at Contra Costa
Centre voted to approve the formation of County Service Area M-31 to fund County-mandated transportation demand
management services in the area.
BACKGROUND:
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 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 established 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, carpool, vanpools, bicycle, walk, telecommute, etc.) have consistently been met.
