Agency Formation Commission of Contra Costa County (LAFCO) the formation of County Service Area (CSA) T-1,
Public Transit, in the Danville area. The properties located within CSA T-1 receive 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:APPROVE First Amendment to Transportation Service Agreement with Central Contra Costa Transit Authority to
provide shuttle services, Danville area.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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 use public transit and build up the necessary demand 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 CSA T-1 residents during the commute hours. The service is demand-responsive for
individuals traveling to and from the CSA T-1 area. During the first year, in addition to provide shuttle services
for the residents, the County collected and evaluated rider usage data. This analysis of first-year ridership showed
that this service reduced peak hour and daily trips. However, the ridership demand has not reached the level that
warrants a full-scale fixed-route CCCTA bus. As the Integrated Project developments continue to grow,
opportunities to increase ridership will grow as well. Future evaluations of this shuttle service will be performed
and modified if needed.
The original Transit Service Agreement was approved by the Board of Supervisors during the December 3, 2013
board meeting.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board of Supervisors’ approval, this First Amendment to Transportation Service Agreement will not be
executed and CCCTA will terminate its on-demand shuttle service to the CSA T-1 residents on December 31,
2015.
