management services for the Contra Costa Centre area, for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County (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

with the Contra Costa Centre Association to manage the TDM program for the Contra Costa Centre area each year

assessment to fund the TDM program. The program offers commute alternative service to people working in the
Contra Costa Centre area. 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.

Subject:Transportation Demand Management Program – Contra Costa Centre Association
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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, 2015 to June 30, 2016. 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.
