TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Transportation Committee
DATE: November 27, 1990
SUBJECT: Comments on the New Rail Starts and Extension Program.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) &BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
Direct the Public Works Director to comment on the update of the New Rail Starts and Extension
Program, to convey to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission the need to have a
comprehensive regional rail plan, and to inform the Commission of Contra Costa County's effort
in developing a regional commuter rail program.
II. Financial Impact:
None to County General Funds. May have future impact on the availability of federal and state
rail project subventions.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
In 1983, in response to the Federal New Rail Starts Program financed by the federal gasoline
tax increase, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) developed a New Rail Starts
and Extension Program for the nine county Bay Area. The program was updated in 1988
because of the successful passage of local sales tax measures for transportation in both San
Mateo and Alameda counties. The expenditure plans for these two measures contain funds for
projects in the New Rail Starts Program.
