Bus Transit Operation @toConQQU* Costa Transportation Authority SPEC i F I C REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S). & BACKGROUND AAID .JUST,.I.E-I CAT I ON RECOMMENDATION• Approve the request of" the Bus Operator Coordination Council for Ex- Officio representation on the -Contra Costa Transportation Authority. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND: On May 7, the Transportation Committee reviewed a request by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (OCTA) , to consider a proposal by the county' s bus transit operators for ex-officio, non-voting. representation on the CCTA (see Exhibit A) . Representation would be annually, rotated among the Board of Directors of AC Transit, County Connection, Tri-Delta, and WestCAT. The designated.representative must be an elected :official. BART and MTC have similar representation on the CCTA. The Transportation Committee considers- this an appropriate request by the bus transit operators. The Measure C sales tax initiative requires the CCTA to develop a county-wide transportation plan that will include ' bus transit operations. As the Congestion Management Agency for Contra Costa, the CCTA will establish standards for the routing and frequency of bus transit operations. Direct input from bus transit operators will provide- an .important perspective during the CCTA' deliberations on county-wide transportation issues. The Trans Transportation Committee recommends that the Board of Supervisors support this request.

As a TrlDelta Board Director, you are aware that transit must play a vital role In solutions to be Identified In the CMP for this county. With the approval of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority as the implementing body for the CMP, CCTA has taken on a larger and more comprehensive role. The bus transit operators are Interested in participating in your deliberations on the CMP regarding issues affecting bus transpor- tation and paratransit-in the County. We believe our involvement would be most effective as a non-voting, ex-officio appointment to CCTA. The additional responsibility of administering the CMP makes the timing.appropriate to consider adding a bus/paratransit ex-officio member to CCTA. Both BART and MTC already have such members representing other elements of.public transit: We respectfully request such an ex-officio, rotating appointment of a member from one of the Boards of Directors. Once CCTA has approved the appointment, I will recommend a member Of our Board to initially fill the position. I think such an arrangement would be mutually beneficial and would appreciate an opportunity to discuss this.idea with you in greater detail. Please call me at 937-0841 at your convenience.
