residents with easier, alternative means of travel to the new BART
station, which is now under construction at the Bailey Road
interchange on Highway 4 . The overall budget for the program is set
at $250, 000 (PVEA and Navy funds combined) . In two previous
actions on this project ( 12/19/94 and 5/23/95) , the Board of
Supervisors accepted the $200, 000 PVEA Grant, allocated $50, 000 in
Navy Mitigation Funds as the County' s local match, and authorized
staff to initiate this program as a joint effort between Contra
Costa County, BART, Tri-Delta Transit, and the TRANSPLAN Committee
(the Regional Transportation Planning Committee for eastern Contra
Costa County) . Subsequent to these actions a Memorandum of
Understanding was signed by the involved agencies which established
a management framework for the program, referred to as the East
Contra Costa Intermodal Transit Access Program MOU.
On October 30, 1995 a program announcement letter was issued to
over 30 agencies, local jurisdictions, community groups, and non-
profit organizations inviting them to submit funding proposals
under this program. During this initial round, six proposals were
submitted for a total of $379, 000 in requested funds :
1) Name: A Proposal to Develop a Station Car Demonstration
Program for the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station.
Submitted By: National Station Car Association
Amount Requested: $12, 000
2) Name: Direct Mail Program for Contra Costa Co. Residents Aimed
At Households Most Likely to use Pittsburg/Bay Point Station
Submitted By: BART, Capital Development and Control
Amount Requested: $77, 000
3) Name: Pathfinder Sign Program for the Pittsburg/Bay Point
BART Station
Submitted By: BART, Access and Facilities Planning
Amount Requested: $50, 000
4) Name:Expand Alternative Transportation Access to Pittsburg/Bay
Point BART
Submitted By: Tri-Delta Transit
Amount Requested: $150, 000
5) Name: 1996 Bus To Bart Marketing Campaign
Submitted By: Tri-Delta Transit
Amount Requested: $40, 000
6) Name: Proposal to Prepare Transit Friendly Local Ordinances
Submitted By: Tri-Delta Transit
Amount Requested: $50, 000
An interagency group, comprised of staff from the County, BART,
Tri-Delta and OCTA, met on December 18, 1995 to evaluate the six
proposals . Based on this evaluation, staff recommends allocating up
to $220, 000 in combined funds, as follows :
1) Fully fund $50, 000 request from BART for the Station
Pathfinder Program, as defined in their proposal;

2) Fund up to $75, 000 of Tri-Delta Transit 's request for
strategic transit planning, as defined in their Proposal
#1 :Expand Alternative Transit Access, and encourage Tri-Delta
to supplement funding with other sources (e .g. partner with
BART on FTA Section 8 planning fund grant via BART' s Section
13c status) ;
3) Conditionally approve up to $75, 000 in PVEA/NAVY funds as a
contribution toward a combined BART/Tri-Delta direct mail and
marketing campaign to inform East County residents on
alternative access for the new Pittsburg/Bay Point BART
Station (rather than two separate marketing campaigns as
originally proposed by the two transit agencies) ;
4) Reserve $20, 000 in program funds for Tri-Delta Transit and
local East County jurisdictions to prepare Transit Oriented
Development Guidelines for better integration of bus transit
access concerns in the planning and design of new
subdivisions . This would be a joint effort between Tri-Delta
and the jurisdictions and would be initiated pending progress
with Tri-Delta Transit' s strategic transit planning;
5) Do not approve the balance of $75, 000 requested by Tri-Delta
Transit as part their Proposal #1 : Expand Alternative Transit
Access;
6) Do not approve $12, 000 funding request submitted by the
National Station Car Association at this time because the
proposed approach is too generic and does not consider
difference in East County setting ( focus on residential end
of trip, as opposed employment sites) .
Staff seeks the Board of Supervisor' s approval of this first round
of program fund allocations and authorization to enter funding
agreements with the involved agencies based on these fund
allocation recommendations . The attached table list as Exhibit One
summarizes East Contra Costa Intermodal Transit Access Program
funding allocations.
