transportation funds versus identified transit needs within the
County. In order to mitigate the present traffic congestion in
Contra Costa County, a source of funding is required beyond that
which is available from the State or Federal government. In an
effort to give the residents and workers within Contra Costa
County a reasonable means of transiting this County, a sales tax
measure is being developed for presentation to the voters of this
County. To support the tax measure, the firm of Smith, Gray &
Company will assist and advise County staff, members. of the
Transportation Partnership Commission and the Commission` s
Advisory Committee.
