has been instrumental in diverting approximately 30% of the station area employees to alternate modes
of transportation such as carpooling, vanpololing, BART and bicycling. The Association has funded its
programs with developer fees and with the assistance of grants. The Association has submitted a joint
application with Shadelands Office Park for the Caltrans 1-680/SR 24 Traffic Mitigation Program to fund
an employee transit incentive program. The program will target 600 employees and would provide
staffing and a kiosk at each center to sell 11transit tickets two days a week. The grant request is for
$248,500 and would fund acquisition of transit passes, staffing and employee incentives for using
transit. The program is similar to a previous program at the Centre Association.
I
Grant applications for the 1-680/SR 24 Traffic Mitigation Program must be submitted by or sponsored
by public agencies. The Contra Costa Centre Association has request the County to act as sponsor of
the application.
