In 2018, voters passed Regional Measure 3 (RM3) which increased bridge tolls in the Bay Area and also established an Independent Oversight Committee. Each of 9 Bay Area counties appoint two members to the Committee. The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors is seeking two members of the public to serve. The RM3 Independent Oversight Committee (oversight committee) will be established by the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) pursuant to Senate Bill 595 (which placed RM 3 on the ballot). The purpose of the Oversight Committee is to ensure that any toll revenues generated pursuant to the RM3 toll increase are expended consistent with the applicable requirements of the RM3 expenditure plan set forth in Streets and Highways Code Section 30914.7. The Oversight Committee shall annually review the expenditure of funds by BATA for the projects and programs specified in Section 30914.7 and prepare and submit a report to the transportation committee of each house of the Legislature summarizing its findings. An individual interested in serving on the Committee must be a resident of Contra Costa County and meet the Streets and Highways Code Section 30923 (h) (3) restrictions below: - A representative appointed to the oversight committee shall not be a member, former member, staff, or former staff of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) or BATA. - A representative appointed to the oversight committee shall not be employed by any organization or person that has received or is receiving funding from MTC or BATA. - A representative appointed to the oversight committee shall not be a former employee or a person who has contracted with any organization or person that has received or is receiving funding from MTC or BATA within one year of having worked for or contracted with that organization or person. The RM3 Oversight Committee is subject to open public meetings (The Brown Act). Meeting dates, frequency, and length of meetings will be established by the members of the committee. The location of meetings will be in San Francisco at the Bay Area Metro Center. BATA anticipates a stipend to members for meeting attendance. The term length for representatives is four years, and each representative is limited to two terms. Applications are available online at https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/3418 or by contacting the Clerk of the Board’s Office at (925) 335-1900 or clerkoftheboard@cob.cccounty.us. Completed applications are due by 5 PM on August 9, 2019, and may be completed and submitted online, emailed to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, mailed or submitted to 651 Pine Street, Room 106, Martinez, CA 94553. ### RECOMMENDATION(S): REFER to the Transportation, Water & Infrastructure Committee the recruitment of individuals to represent Contra Costa County on the Regional Measure 3 (Bridge Tolls) Independent Oversight Committee, as recommended by Supervisor Gioia. FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact to the County. Stipends to committee members will be paid by the Bay Area Toll Authority. BACKGROUND: Senate Bill 595 (SB 595) required the nine Bay Area counties to conduct a special election, known as Regional Measure 3 (RM3), on a proposed increase to toll rates on state-owned bridges in the region. This election took place on June 5, 2018, with voters approving a three dollar toll increase, phased in one dollar at a time over the course of six years. Effective January 1, 2019, the base toll rate on these bridges was increased by one dollar. Due to ongoing lawsuits against the measure, collected RM3 revenue is currently being held in an escrow account.

The commission shall consult with the Partnership Transit Coordination Council in developing a plan that identifies and evaluates opportunities for improving transit connectivity and shall include, but not be limited to, the following components: (1) A network of key transit hubs connecting regional rapid transit services to one another, and to feeder transit services. “Regional rapid transit” means long-haul transit service that crosses county lines, and operates mostly in dedicated rights-of-way, including freeway high-occupancy vehicle lanes, crossing a bridge, or on the bay. The identified transit hubs shall operate either as a timed transfer network or as pulsed hub connections, providing regularly scheduled connections between two or more transit lines. (2) Physical infrastructure and right-of-way improvements necessary to improve system reliability and connections at transit hubs. Physical infrastructure improvements may include, but are not limited to, improved rail-to-rail transfer facilities, including cross-platform transfers, and intermodal transit improvements that facilitate rail-to-bus, rail-to-ferry, ferry-to-ferry, ferry-to-bus, and bus-to-bus transfers. Capital improvements identified in the plan shall be eligible for funding in the commission’s regional transportation plan. (3) Regional standards and procedures to ensure maximum coordination of schedule connections to minimize transfer times between transit lines at key transit hubs, including, but not limited to, the following: (A) Policies and procedures for improved fare collection. (B) Enhanced trip-planning services, including Internet-based programs, telephone information systems, and printed schedules. (C) Enhanced schedule coordination through the implementation of real-time transit-vehicle location systems that facilitate communication between systems and result in improved timed transfers between routes. (D) Performance measures and data collection to monitor the performance of the connectivity plan. The connectivity plan shall focus on, but not be limited to, feeder transit lines connecting to regional rapid transit services, and the connection of regional rapid transit services to one another. The connectivity plan shall be adopted following a Metropolitan Transportation Commission public hearing at least 60 days prior to adoption. The commission shall adopt performance measures and collect appropriate data to monitor the performance of the connectivity plan. The plan shall be evaluated every three years by the commission as part of the update to its regional transportation plan. No agency shall be eligible to receive funds under this section unless the agency is a participant operator in the commission’s regional transit connectivity plan. The provisions of this subdivision shall only be effective if the voters approve the toll increase as set forth in Section 30921, and the expenditures incurred by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission up to five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) that are related to the requirements of this subdivision, including any study, shall be reimbursed from toll revenues identified in paragraph (33) of subdivision (c) of Section 30914. (e) The TransLink Consortium, per the TransLink Interagency Participation Agreement, shall, by July 1, 2008, develop a plan for an integrated fare program covering all regional rapid transit trips funded in full or in part by this section. “Regional rapid transit” means long-haul transit services that cross county lines, and operate mostly in dedicated rights-of-way, including freeway high-occupancy vehicle lanes, crossing a bridge, or on the bay. Interregional rail services, originating or terminating from outside the Bay Area, shall not be considered regional rapid transit. The purpose of the integrated fare program is to encourage greater use of the region’s transit network by making it easier and less costly for transit riders whose regular commute involves multizonal travel and may involve the transfer between two or more transit agencies, including regional-to-regional and regional-to-local transfers. The integrated fare program shall include a zonal fare system for the sole purpose of creating a monthly zonal pass (monthly pass), allowing for unlimited or discounted fares for transit riders making a minimum number of monthly transit trips between two or more zones. The number of minimum trips shall be established by the plan. The integrated fare program shall not apply to fare structures that are not purchased on a monthly basis. For the purposes of these zonal fares, geographic zones shall be created in the Bay Area. To the extent practical, zone boundaries for overlapping systems shall be in the same places and shall correspond to the boundaries of the local transit service areas. A regional rapid transit zone may cover more than one local service area, or may subdivide an existing local service area. The monthly pass shall be created in at least the following two forms: (1) For the use of interzonal regional rapid transit trips without local transit discounts. (2) For the use of interzonal regional rapid transit trips with local transit discounts. The plan may recommend the elimination of existing transit pass arrangements to simplify the marketing of the monthly pass. The integrated fare program shall establish a monitoring program to evaluate the impact of the integrated fare program on the operating finances of the participating agencies. The integrated fare program shall be adjusted as necessary to ensure that the program does not jeopardize the viability of local or regional rapid transit routes impacted by the program, and to the extent feasible, provide an equitable revenue-sharing arrangement among the participating agencies. This subdivision shall only be effective if the voters approve the toll increase as set forth in Section 30921, and any expenditures related to the implementation of this subdivision incurred by the TransLink Consortium shall be reimbursed by toll revenues designated in paragraph (34) of subdivision (c) of Section 30914. (f) The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) shall, by September 29, 2007, adopt a Bay Area Regional Rail Plan (plan) for the development of passenger rail services in the San Francisco Bay Area over the short, medium, and long term. Up to six million dollars ($6,000,000) of the funds described in paragraph (33) of subdivision (c) of Section 30914 may be expended by MTC, the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), and the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (Caltrain) for the plan. A project management team comprised of staff from MTC, Caltrain, the High-Speed Rail Authority, and BART shall provide day-to-day project management of the technical development of the plan. The plan shall formulate strategies to integrate passenger rail systems, improve interfaces with connecting services, expand the regional rapid transit network, and coordinate investments with transit-supportive land use. The plan shall be directed by a steering committee consisting of appointees from the Department of Transportation (Caltrans), BART, Caltrain, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority, the Altamont Commuter Express, the High- Speed Rail Authority, MTC, the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District (SMART), the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, the Solano Transportation Authority, the Association of Bay Area Governments, the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, the Port of Oakland, the Alameda County Transportation Commission, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority, the Transportation Authority of Marin, the Napa County Transportation Planning Agency, the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, the San Mateo City-County Association of Governments, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, and the owners of standard gauge rail. Under direction from the steering committee and with input from Bay Area transit agencies, MTC shall act as the fiscal agent for the study and oversee consultant contracts on behalf of the project management team. The plan proposals shall be evaluated using performance criteria, including, but not limited to, transit-supportive land use and access, ridership, cost-effectiveness, regional network connectivity, and capital and operating financial stability. Additional performance criteria shall be developed as necessary. The plan shall include, but not be limited to, all of the following: (1) Identification of issues in connectivity, access, capacity, operations, and cost-effectiveness. (2) Identification of opportunities to enhance rail connectivity and to maximize passenger convenience when transferring between systems, including the study of the feasibility and construction of an intermodal transfer hub at Niles (Shinn Street) Junction. (3) Recommendation of improvements to the interface with shuttles, buses, other rail systems, and other feeder modes. (4) Identification of potential impacts on capacity constraints and operations on existing passenger and freight carriers. (5) Identification of bottlenecks where added capacity could cost-effectively increase performance. (6) Recommendation of potential efficiency improvements through economies of scale, such as through joint vehicle procurement and maintenance facilities. (7) Recommendation of strategies to acquire right-of-way and station property to preserve future service options. (8) Identification of potential capital and operating funding sources for proposed actions. (9) Identification of locations where the presence of passenger rail could stimulate redevelopment and thereby direct growth to the urban core. (10) Recommendation of technology-appropriate service expansion in specific corridors. Technologies to be considered include conventional rail transit modes, bus rapid transit, and emerging rail technologies. Identify phasing strategies for the implementation of rail services where appropriate. 30914.7.30914.7 (11) Examination of how recommendations would integrate with proposed high-speed rail to the Central Valley and southern California. The intent of this element of the study is to help reduce the number of alternatives that the High-Speed Rail Authority would need to evaluate as part of any follow-on environmental assessment of future high-speed rail system access to the Bay Area. Selection of a preferred alignment for the Bay Area shall remain the responsibility of the High-Speed Rail Authority pursuant to Section 185032 of the Public Utilities Code.

(3) Before the allocation of revenue for transit operating assistance under subparagraphs (A) and (C) of paragraph (2), the Metropolitan Transportation Commission shall: (A) Adopt performance measures related to fare-box recovery, ridership, or other indicators, as appropriate. The performance measures shall be developed in consultation with the affected project sponsors. (B) Execute an operating agreement with the sponsor of the project. This agreement shall include, but is not limited to, an operating plan that is consistent with the adopted performance measures. The agreement shall include a schedule of projected fare revenues or other forecast revenue and any other operating funding that will be dedicated to the service or terminal. For any individual project sponsor, this operating agreement may include additional requirements, as determined by the commission. (C) In an operating agreement executed pursuant to subparagraph (B), the Metropolitan Transportation Commission shall grant a project sponsor at least five years to achieve the adopted performance measures. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission shall use a ridership forecast as the basis for performance measures adopted pursuant to subparagraph (A) and to establish performance measures in following years. If the transit service of a project sponsor does not achieve the performance measures within the timeframe granted to the project sponsor, the project sponsor shall notify the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission may revise the performance measures, extend the timeframe to achieve the performance measures, or take action to reduce the funding available for operations if the performance measures are not met within the new timeframe. (4) Before Metropolitan Transportation Commission providing funding to the San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) under subdivision (a) or this subdivision, WETA and the MTC shall do the following, as applicable: (A) WETA shall adopt a plan that includes systemwide and route-specific performance measures related to fare-box recovery, ridership, and any other measures as deemed appropriate by WETA in consultation with MTC. (B) WETA and MTC shall execute an operating agreement that establishes a five-year plan for new or enhanced services and outlines incremental steps needed to achieve a reasonable level of service productivity and cost- effectiveness as compared to similar ferry services provided across the bay area. (C) After the time period identified in subparagraph (B), and if reasonable, but incomplete progress has been achieved to meet the performance measures identified in subparagraph (A), WETA, in consultation with MTC, may propose a new timeframe, not longer than an additional five years, to achieve the performance measures and take needed steps to remedy the service to meet the measures. In the event that the performance measures are not met within the new timeframe, WETA may seek additional time to achieve the measures and MTC may determine whether services should continue and may establish other conditions to service in consultation with WETA. In all cases, funds not spent or made available to WETA shall be returned to the reserve account established pursuant to clause (ii) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2). (D) WETA shall use the plan identified in subparagraph (A) to prioritize the use of capital funding made available by this section to support its mission as the operator of ferry services. (E) This section does not restrict WETA with respect to meeting its obligations as the coordinating agency for water transit response to regional emergencies. (d) (1) For all projects authorized under subdivision (a), the project sponsor shall submit an initial project report to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission within six months of the election approving the toll increase. This report shall include all information required to describe the project in detail, including the status of any environmental documents relevant to the project, additional funds required to fully fund the project, the amount, if any, of funds expended to date, and a summary of any impediments to the completion of the project. This report, or an updated report, shall include a detailed financial plan and shall notify the commission if the project sponsor will request toll revenue within the subsequent 12 months. The project sponsor shall update this report as needed or requested by the commission. Funds shall not be allocated by the commission for any project authorized by subdivision (a) until the project sponsor submits the initial project report, and the report is reviewed and approved by the commission. (2) If multiple project sponsors are listed for projects listed in subdivision (a), the commission shall identify a lead sponsor in coordination with all identified sponsors, for purposes of allocating funds. For any projects authorized 30915. 30916. under subdivision (a), the commission shall have the option of requiring a memorandum of understanding between itself and the project sponsor or sponsors that shall include any specific requirements that must be met before the allocation of funds provided under subdivision (a). (e) If a program or project identified in subdivision (a) has cost savings after completion, taking into account construction costs and an estimate of future settlement claims, or cannot be completed or cannot continue due to delivery or financing obstacles making the completion or continuation of the program or project unrealistic, the commission shall consult with the program or project sponsor. After consulting with the sponsor, the commission shall hold a public hearing concerning the program or project. After the hearing, the commission may vote to modify the program or the project’s scope, decrease its level of funding, or reassign some or all of the funds to another project within the same bridge corridor. If a program or project identified in subdivision (a) is to be implemented with other funds not derived from tolls, the commission shall follow the same consultation and hearing process described above and may vote thereafter to reassign the funds to another project consistent with the intent of this chapter. (f) If the voters approve a toll increase pursuant to Section 30923, the authority shall within 24 months of the election date include the projects in a long-range bridge toll plan.

Meeting Date:08/12/2019   Subject:RECEIVE and CONSIDER public comments on the draft ordinance to ban the sale and use of polystyrene (Styrofoam) food and beverage containers. Submitted For: Brian M. Balbas, Public Works Director/Chief Engineer  Department:Public Works Referral No.: 5   Referral Name: Review issues associated with the health of the San Francisco Bay and Delta, including water quality.  Presenter: Tim Jensen, Department of Public Works Contact: Cece Sellgren (925)313-2296 Referral History: The Regional Water Quality Control Boards issue the County a stormwater permit on a five-year recurring cycle. The first permit was issued in 1993 and the current permit was issued in November 2015. The objective of the permit is to reduce pollutants in stormwater to improve stormwater quality, and increase stormwater infiltration into soils to improve watershed health. Trash is considered a pollutant and the stormwater permit includes ambitious trash reduction targets. To meet the trash reduction targets, the County prepared a trash reduction plan that included a variety of control measures. One of the control measures to reduce trash is to ban polystyrene (Styrofoam) food and beverage containers as polystyrene is light and easily blown into waterways where it tends to break down into smaller pieces that are difficult to remove from the environment. Referral Update: The new stormwater permit, referred to as the Municipal Regional Permit 2.0, follows the prior Municipal Regional Permit 1.0 issued at the end of 2009. The Committee has reviewed several issues related to the stormwater permit, and Board members have testified before the Regional Water Board several times describing the impacts their stormwater permit has on County operations and the County budget. The Committee first heard this topic on November 8, 2018, which was the initiation of an effort to adopt an ordinance that would ban polystyrene food and beverage containers. Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): CONSIDER a draft ordinance to ban the use and sale of polystyrene food and beverage containers CONSIDER a draft ordinance to ban the use and sale of polystyrene food and beverage containers and any public comments received, PROVIDE staff with any suggested changes to the draft ordinance, and FORWARD the draft ordinance to the full Board for consideration and with a recommendation for adoption. Fiscal Impact (if any): The annual cost to enforce a polystyrene ban is estimated to be $25,000.

The Public Works Director may require the food vendor to provide additional information in support of its request for a hardship exemption, including but not limited to a list of available alternative packaging materials and the reasons why those materials cannot be used without causing a hardship to the food vendor. A hardship does not exist solely on the basis that an environmentally-friendly food service ware product costs more than a similar polystyrene food service ware product. (2) Determination. A food vendor that submits a written request for a hardship exemption will be issued a written decision by the Public Works Director ORDINANCE NO. 2019-__ (DRAFT) Page 4 of 4 indicating whether the hardship exemption is granted.

Balbas, Director Deputy Directors Stephen Kowalewski, Chief Allison Knapp Warren Lai Carrie Ricci Joe Yee July 15, 2019 Dear Interested Party, Contra Costa County is proposing to ban Styrofoam (polystyrene) food and beverage containers in all unincorporated communities. The proposal will be similar to 10 other cities within the County that have already implemented a Styrofoam ban. A public meeting on the ban will be held on August 12, 2019. The ordinance banning Styrofoam will be discussed at the County’s Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee meeting at 9:00 on August 12, at 651 Pine Street, Martinez, in Room 101 on the ground floor. The public is welcome to attend and provide comments at the meeting. The proposal would ban the use and sale of Styrofoam for all food and beverage containers, such as bowls, plates, cartons, cups, and “clamshell” style food containers. The ban would apply to all businesses that sell food or beverages, such as restaurants, convenience stores, fast food services, etc., or sell food and beverage containers, such as household retail stores. To obtain more information and view the proposed ordinance banning Styrofoam containers, visit the website www.cccounty.us/PolyBan. The County is proposing to ban Styrofoam to reduce the impact Styrofoam food and beverage containers have on the environment. Styrofoam is not biodegradable and breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces over time, multiplying its detrimental environmental impact. Comments are welcome! If you have any comments or questions on the proposed Styrofoam ban or ordinance, please e-mail them to cece.sellgren@pw.cccounty.us; mail them to the Contra Costa County Public Works Department, 255 Glacier Drive, Martinez, CA 94553, attention Cece Sellgren; or call Cece Sellgren directly at 925-313-2296.

Meeting Date:08/12/2019   Subject:CONSIDER report: Local, Regional, State, and Federal Transportation Issues: Legislation, Studies, Miscellaneous Updates, take ACTION as Appropriate. Submitted For: TRANSPORTATION, WATER & INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE,  Department:Conservation & Development Referral No.: 1   Referral Name: Review legislative matters on transportation, water, and infrastructure.  Presenter: John Cunningham, DCD Contact: John Cunningham (925)674-7883 Referral History: This is a standing item on the Transportation, Water, and Infrastructure Committee referral list and meeting agenda. Referral Update: In developing transportation related issues and proposals to bring forward for consideration by TWIC, staff receives input from the Board of Supervisors (BOS), references the County's adopted Legislative Platforms, coordinates with our legislative advocates, partner agencies and organizations, and consults with the Committee itself. This report includes four sections, 1: LOCAL, 2: REGIONAL, 3: STATE, and 4: FEDERAL . 1. LOCAL   Contra Costa Transportation Authority: Proposed 2020 Transportation Expenditure Plan/Sales Tax The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) has initiated an effort to bring a sales tax/transportation expenditure plan (TEP) to the ballot in 2020. The full Board of Supervisors discussed the item at their May 21, 2019 meeting, and directed staff to use the 2016 Measure X TEP and the County's priorities for that effort to guide input for the current 2020 effort. TWIC subsequently took the issue up at their June 10, 2019 meeting, and the full Board discussed the item again at their July 30, 2019 meeting. The communication from the Board of Supervisors to CCTA which came out of the the July 30 discussion is attached to this report. Staff does not have an update on the TEP process as of the submission of this report. 2. REGIONAL  No report in August. 3. STATE  Contra Costa County Specific Legislation of Interest: AB 1025 (Grayson): California Transportation Commission: San Ramon Branch Corridor: Reimbursement aka "The Iron Horse Bill". Status: The bill is being heard in Senate Appropriations which convenes at 10:00 a.m. on August 12, the same day as the TWIC Committee meeting. Summary: The bill proposes to 1) remove County obligations to the state associated with legacy grants aquired when the right of way was purchased in the 1980s, and 2) defines changes to the County's Iron Horse Corridor Management Program Advisory Committee (adding a seat for the Contra Costa Transportation Authority and establish a mechanism to consider new mobility technology proposals).  Discussion/Update: There may be a need for the County to pass a resolution committing to waive costs incurred as a result of implementing changes required under the bill. This would be in addition to the assurances communicated in the 5-7-19 letter (attached) from the County to the Assembly Appropriations Committee. Staff is still receiving information and will report out at the Committtee meeting.  AB 970 (Salas): California Department of Aging: Grants: Transportation Status: The bill is being heard in Senate Appropriations which convenes at 10:00 a.m. on August 12, the same day as the TWIC Committee meeting. Summary: The bill would provide Cap and Trade revenue to local jurisdictions to operate and support transportation services for seniors and persons with disabilities. Discussion/Update: MTC has adopted a "Support if Amended" position. AB 970 was similar to a bill developed by Contra Costa County in that it accessed Cap and Trade revenue to fund improvements to transportation services for seniors & persons with disabilities (SPD). Relative to the County proposal, the bill had limited language relative to the administration of the grant program and rationale for accessing Cap and Trade revenue. Given that 1) the County had that additional detail already developed, and 2) more critically we did not secure an author for our own bill, the County transmitted a "Support if Amended" letter and engaged the Author's staff. The Author, his staff, and the legislative analyst's office have been receptive to input from the County, the bill has gone through several revisions reflecting that input. Additional revisions will be necessary in order for the County to adopt a support position. A concern is that if the legislation is enacted without appropriate revisions it will make subequent legislation accessing Cap and Trade revenue for the SPD population much more difficult. Attached: August TWIC Report - State Legislation of Interest. 4. FEDERAL   No written report in August. See attached Washington Post article, "Senate passes two-year budget and debt ceiling bill, will send it to Trump".

Glover, 5th District August 2, 2019 Robert Taylor, Chair Contra Costa Transportation Authority 2999 Oak Road, Suite 100 Walnut Creek, CA 94597 Subject: Draft 2020 Transportation Expenditure Plan & Sales Tax Ballot Measure Dear Chair Taylor: The Board of Supervisors would like to thank the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (Authority) for the substantial effort put in to the draft Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP). Regardless of the outcome of this effort we hope that some of the transit and safety concepts proposed in the TEP, which don’t necessarily require new revenue, are implemented in the near future. This comment letter does not constitute an endorsement by the Board of the concept of a 2020 transportation sales tax. The Board will consider that broader issue at a future meeting in the context of other critical needs. On July 30, 2019, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Chair to transmit comments on the draft TEP. The comment letter covers three topics; access to jobs, accessible transit, and the advanced mitigation program. Access to Jobs Based on action at the July 17th CCTA Board meeting, we understand that this program will be reinstated. The County believes that the nomenclature used to describe this program can be improved such that it would be more understandable and informative to the voters. The County proposes the following name for the program, Reverse/Reduced Commute Projects. In addition to the title of the program, the description could be refined to make it clear that the intent is to reduce commute distances and better utilize the reverse -commute capacity of the existing transportation infrastructure. This could incentivize local jurisdictions and partners to set the stage for creating new jobs in housing -rich areas. Examples that could illustrate the concept include new or upgraded rail crossings to David Twa Clerk of the Board and County Administrator (925) 335-1900 Contra Costa County ATTACHMENT F 1.1-19 Robert Taylor, Chair - CCTA August 2, 2019 Page 2 of 3 “unlock” development potential for employment centers, rail-based goods movement improvements, bike lanes and bike facilities in business parks and on routes from transit stations to employment centers, and other new or upgraded transportation infrastructure intended to strategically attract jobs. Accessible Transit The revision below “establish a user-friendly, coordinated system with a single point of entry”, was cooperatively developed by County and CCTA staff. The TEP is referencing the Accessible Transportation Strategic (ATS) Plan in numerous places. The ATS Plan has just been initiated, the process needs to be respected and allowed to play out but considering the pattern of unfulfilled plans and policies documented in the attached history of paratransit policies (Contra Costa County: Paratransit Policies/Guidance 1990 - 2019), staff believes that leadership should set some base expectations for the process, and that a “user-friendly, coordinated, and single point of entry” are all reasonable criteria: In collaboration with stakeholders and service providers, CCTA will develop an Accessible Transportation Services Strategic Plan to establish a user-friendly, coordinated system with a single point of entry and to further guide the use of these funds. The rationale for the suggested revision below, replacing “…appropriate model…local structure…” with “deliver a streamlined and unified experience for the customer”, is twofold: 1) The suggested language is currently in the TEP but only in reference to conventional transit, serving the able bodied. Staff believes it is reasonable to set the same expectation for the population of elderly and persons with disabilities, and 2) The deletion of “appropriate model for our local structure", is proposed. The reason is that this statement could be construed to mean, “changes are only acceptable so long as the administrative structures remain unaffected”. The County does not believe this is a reasonable standard. An Accessible Transportation Service Strategic (ATS) Plan will be developed and periodically updated during the term of the Measure. No funding under the Affordable Accessible Transportation for Seniors, Veterans, and People with Disabilities category will be allocated until the ATS Strategic Plan has been developed and adopted. No funds may be distributed to a service provider before it adopts the plan except as noted below. The development and delivery of the ATS Strategic Plan will establish a user-focused system, with a single point of entry, on using mobility management to ensure coordination and efficiencies in accessible service delivery. The ATS Strategic Plan will address both Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and non-ADA services. The ATS Strategic Plan will deliver a streamlined, affordable and unified experience for the customer evaluate the appropriate model for our local structure including and address how accessible services are delivered by all service providers and where appropriate 1.1-20 Robert Taylor, Chair - CCTA August 2, 2019 Page 3 of 3 coordination can improve transportation services, eliminate gaps in service and find efficiencies in the service delivered. The ATS Strategic Plan will also determine the investments and oversight of the program funding and identify timing, projects, service delivery options, administrative structure, and fund leverage opportunities. Advanced Mitigation Program We understand that the Advanced Mitigation Program language from the 2016 Measure X effort was initially carried over. Staff from our two agencies wo rked collaboratively to develop that language. However, we understand that the program is now only recently being reworked to address; CEQA, SB375/743, and endangered species/habitat (State and Federal) mitigation in a combined manner that is not yet defined. It is in the best interest of the County to ensure that the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan (HCP/NCCP) is not impeded. The habitat protection and expedited project delivery afforded by the program both contribute substantially to the County’s livability. Based on the limited information available at this time, it is not clear that the new program does this.

Glover, 5th District May 7, 2019 Honorable Lorena Gonzalez, Chair Committee on Appropriations 80th Assembly District State Capitol, Room 2114 Sacramento, CA 94249-0080 SUBJECT: AB 1025 – Transportation: CTC: San Ramon Branch Corridor: Reimbursement Dear Chair Gonzalez, On behalf of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, I am writing to express the County’s support for Assembly Bill 1025 and to clarify the County’s acceptance of obligations under the Bill. The Bill would result in the relinquishment of the state’s rights relative to the San Ramon Branch Corridor (aka the “Iron Horse Regional Trail”) in Contra Costa County. The Bill would also require the County to revise the bylaws of the Iron Horse Corridor Management Program Advisory Committee, expand the Management Program elements, and include a new task in the committee’s Work Program, all to better equip the County to respond to the potential for new transportation technologies in the corridor. The May 6, 2019 committee analysis indicates that a claim could be filed with the Commission on State Mandates for the administrative and operational requirements imposed on the County in the Bill. In addition to the analysis correctly assuming that the County supports the Bill, it is correct in stating that the County “…would not file a claim for these costs with the Commission.” The County welcomes the obligations in the bill and has no intention to file such a claim. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the County. Our staff and legislative advocate are available to provide assistance, John Cunningham, Principal Transportation Planner (john.cunningham@dcd.cccounty.us, (925) 674-7833) and Mark Watts (mwatts@swmconsult.com, (916) 446-5508). Thank you for your assistance with this important legislation. Sincerely, John Gioia Chair Board of Supervisors cc: Hon. Timothy S.
