As you know, the decision of the Mayors' Conference and the County Board of Supervisors to allow CCTAC to sunset at the end of January was not an indication that there is not a need for a county-wide transportation forum but a clear statement that we must make a fresh start if the public is going to support funding for transportation improvements too p._„a. The basic objectives of any transportation plan should be: 1. To serve the public with efficient, safe, convenient, and economic transportation systems. 2. To develop a coordinated approach for solving transportation problems. The proposal I will present to you incorporates these basic objectives, and it is known as the "Pyramid Concept". Pyramids symbolize strength and stability and have stood the test of time. The suggested name for this transportation organization is the CONTRA COSTA TRANSPORTATION PARTNERSHIP. THE PARTNERSHIP The PARTNERSHIP PYRAMID is comprised of three major sections: foundation, middle and top. FOUNDATION The foundation of the PARTNERSHIP PYRAMID consists of two layers: First Layer - Technical Advisory Committees. These committees include staff from each of the participating agencies as well as representatives from both public and private sectors. These committees provide technical expertise and allow a grassroots approach for gaining information. Second Layer - The second layer of the foundation is where the regional plans would be developed by both elected officials and planning commissioners. The regional planning "committees would include two members from each city: an elected official and a planning commissioner; and one County Board of Supervisor, except in the Central County where two Supervisors would serve on the committee. Regional Committees would have the option of including representatives from other public bodies such as transit organizations and MTC and from special interest groups such as: , homeowner associations, chamber of commerces, and taxpayer associations. MIDDLE The middle layer of the pyramid also consists of two; layers: a Technical Advisory Coordinating Committee (TACC) and a key administrative staff level. The TACC is made up of city staff, one from each of the four regions, and one staff member from the County. This technical advisory committee would serve as a linkage between the regional committees and the key staff appointed by the Partnership Commission as well as serve as a technical resource. The key administrative staff could be either an independent consultant, staff hired specifically for these positions, County staff under contract or staff loaned from the cities and the county. TOP At the top of the pyramid would sit the PARTNERSHIP COMMISSION. The membership breakdown would be as follows: 1. East County Cities: 2 95,250 - 13% 2. West County Cities: 2 148,600 - 210 3. Central Co. Cities: 2 229,770 - 32% 4. Lamorinda/San Ramon: 2 110,600 - 15% (Southwest County) 5. Mayors' Conference 1 (At large member) 6. Contra Costa County: 2 139,780 - 19% TOTAL . . . . . . . 11 224,000 - 100% The Partnership Commission members would be selected (two-year term) from the elected officials serving on the regional committees. This would allow for continuity and consistency throughout the planning process plus there would be greater ownership in the planning documents. Similar to the regional committees, the Partnership Commission would have the option of including advisory representatives on the Commission. Possible representatives may include MTC, transit, League of Women Voters and private sectors. COMMITTEE AND COMMISSION RESPONSIBILITIES The different levels of responsibilities of the Partnership again reflect the "pyramid concept". The regional committees which form the essence of the pyramid's foundation, are responsible for developing the detailed transportation plans and project proposals for their respective areas. The regional committees would also serve as advisory units to the Commission. Supporting the regional committees would be the technical staff from each of the participating agencies. An example of staff assistance would be the blending of local plans into a regional plan for the committees' review and refinement prior to its submittal to the Partnership Commission. The middle section of the pyramid (key administrative staff and the technical coordinating committee) serves as the linkage between the regional committees and the Commission and is responsible for keeping the programs and designated tasks on schedule. The staff to the Commission would be responsible for administration, marketing projects and programs and public relations. The primary roles of the Technical Advisory Coordinating Committee would be to (1) Provide technical resources to the administrative staff; and (2) Assist in the coordination of regional plans into a master transportation plan and program for the Partnership. The major responsibilities of the CONTRA COSTA TRANSPORTATION PARTNERSHIP OOM."1ISSION ARE: 1. Policy development 2. Coordinate regional plans into a county-wide master plan/program. -r,—AriiiJe Cvflvtpci-8c-[Tca3-4 cr9v�c3n rtc�assdtZUr]c�—.tv�-rr ra p6�atieF•�� r- \Qe_ 4. Establish project priorities for Contra Costa County's submittal for the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (R-TIP) . 5. Allocate funds to local agencies. (E.g. , Federal Aide Urban (FAU) , Transportation Development Act and any new funds made available to the TRANSPORTATION PARTNERSHIP. 6. Develop a time schedule to guide Regional Planning Committees in the completion of common objectives in a timely fashion. To assist in accomplishing the above objectives, each regional planning committee would prepare a transportation plan for its region detailing transportation deficiencies, estimated cost for correction, and prioritizing projects. Committees would be free to irritate other tasks which would improve transportation systems in their regions (i.e. , integration of traffic signal systems, improved transit systems, TSM, etc. ). The transportation plans developed by the region would be submitted to the Transportation Partnership Commission whose primary responsibility would be to reconcile any differences between individual regional plans. In doing so, the Commission would not add or delete projects or alter priorities. They could however, in combining regional plans, establish county-wide priorities consistent with available funding. IIIn order to fully integrate individual regional transportation plans to the extent possible and before submitting regional plans to the r Commission for further consideration, regional planning committees will: 1. submit copies of their individual regional plans to;ather regions in the county for consideration and comment 2. submit a copy of the proposed plan to each City Council within the region for consideration and When regional plans have been reviewed by the Commission, additional attention will be given to the importance of integrating the plans into a single county transportation plan which recognizes the importance of providing for inter-regional transportation planning needs. TIME SCHEDULE The t4fftiiig to-jet a ba t--measure before tie—VOtery is e- -'--Assuming we got started right now (February, 1987) a nned to present a ballot measure before the voters e November, 1988 election, we have 20 months to est the Partnership structure, develop regional plans, b regional plans into a county-wide master plan, adopt—t e county-wide plan, develop a proposal for a ballot asu�market the proposal, refine the ballot proposal based t R11hI €eedbaek7--arid get the It is important that the county-wide transportation plan be completed in a timely manner. To do so, the Commission would prepare a recommended time schedule to guide regional planning committees into completion of their individual plans. In the event a ballot measure for plan implementation financing is necessary, the most likely dates would be in June or November 1988 to coincide with the general elections. This would allow a maximum of 20 months to complete preparation of a county-wide transportation plan. Based upon the above tasks, the following time schedule is offered for -your preliminary consideration: February through April, 1987: Establish and organize the CONTRA COSTA TRANSPORTATION PARTNERSHIP. This step includes setting the membership for the regional committees, the Commission, and for the technical committees. May through October, 1987: Develop regional plans. November, 1987 through 4anuary April, 1988 Blend regional plans into county-wide master plan and adopt plan. Develop list of transportation improvement projects and proposed _project financing. Febraarp- hrongh-hs , Market proposed ballot measure for transportat' mprovements. Refine proposal based upon public co s. Submit official language for ballot measure to y for November election. September to November c ion s Cuernue to solicit c support the voters measure. Develop /� na-Live-a e-Ra-- .oala t.��r,s-cQj FINANCING This proposal emphasizes the broadest possible use of existing city/county staffs and contracting with a consultant, League of California Cities--Public Service Skills Inc. , the county, MTC, or a city in the county willing to provide program administration services on a reimbursement basis. How expenses are shared by participating agencies at both the regional and county-wide level is best determined after the structure, program of work and time schedule have been determined. ! t TNT , oTA TRAN6ROF �T�aNIE 'ARTt� R=�H P I oFc-gra zATioNAL ORWCTL)fz� CON�MlSraION M�MgI✓iZsH1p �+tEau�=R� of THE �4�oPUL,4,�"IoN I�S�P� cornM t sst oN MUsT • BAST tvUNTy GtT� 2 5����T,✓I� �� TKA • wE-�-7T c©UWy ctTIES : 2 E;1.E~GTI✓D d�FfG{AI- Ge�NTp-,At- co. o(TIE5 : 2 TNPA T ASE oro T-{5: CONTRA . ew coot my GTI E, : 2 FZE610HAI..
