HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 06242014 - C.55RECOMMENDATION(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 $285,850, for transportation demand management
services for the Contra Costa Centre area, for the period July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.
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 area have established a County Service Area with an
annual assessment to fund TDM. The program offers commute alternative services to BART station area employees.

Subject:Transportation Demand Management Program - Contra Costa Centre Area
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
While there is no mandate requiring participation by employers or any penalty for non-participation, 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, van-pools, bicycle, walk,
telecommute, etc.) have consistently been met.
The project agreement covers a 12-month period from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015. It funds the operation of
van-pools and a noon-time shuttle service to nearby commercial areas, Segway (two wheeled self-balancing
personal transport) and bicycle services, on-site transit ticket sales, and 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 through this contract.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
