On June 14, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved Resolution No. 2005/357 which recommended to the Local
Agency Formation Commission of Contra Costa County (LAFCO) the formation of County Service Area (CSA) T-1,
Public Transit, in the Danville Area. The property located within CSA T-1 receives a special and distinct benefit over
and above the general benefits received by the public at-large in the form of extended public transit services. These

Subject:AUTHORIZE Agreement with Central Contra Costa Transit Authority for shuttle service for CSA T-1 residents,
Danville area.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
October 18, 2005, Resolution 2005/674 stated that the transit services should be supported by a benefit assessment on
parcels that receive this special and distinct benefit.
The properties included within CSA T-1 are known as the Alamo Creek/Intervening Properties Development east of
the Town of Danville. Together these developments are commonly referred to as the Integrated Project. The
Integrated Project constitutes approximately 767 acres located south of Camino Tassajara between Hansen Lane and
Finley Road in unincorporated Contra Costa County, California.
Wilbur Smith Associates (WSA) completed a Transit Improvements Study of the Integrated Project in March 2005.
The study acknowledged that a limited market existed for transit services and consequently, a limited transit service
is offered in the study area. The study concluded that a latent demand for transit could be satisfied if a regular
commuter service were provided. Given the size of the Integrated Project and the workplace destination and
commuting behavior of the adjacent census tracts as outlined by a census-based demographic analysis, a weekday
rush-hour commuter service would provide the greatest benefit of transit services under consideration. Specifically,
the report recommended that the proposed transit service include the Walnut Creek Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)
station and Bishop Ranch Business Park as destinations.
Since the market for transit services is currently limited, a full-scale fixed-route CCCTA bus is not warranted at this
time. CSA T-1’s plan is to engage the residents to try public transit and build up the necessary demand for public
transit for a full-scale fixed-route bus. In response to CSA T-1’s plan, CCCTA agreed to provide a
demand-responsive, flexible shuttle for the County Service Area (CSA) T-1 residents during the commute hours. The
service envisioned is demand-responsive for individuals traveling to and from CSA T-1. During the first year, in
addition to provide shuttle services for the residents, the County will also be able to collect and evaluate rider usage
data to determine the next step toward providing full-scale bus services.
CCCTA board approved this Agreement in their October 18, 2013 Board of Director meeting.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board of Supervisors’ approval, this agreement will not be executed.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
