The Contra Costa Transportation Authority has requested that it be
designated as the AB 434 Program Manager on the grounds that it
also manages ' the Measure C-1988 vanpool and carpool programs.
The Transportation Committee reviewed several alternatives. These
alternatives include designating the BAAQMD or the County as
program manager. The Committee feels that it will be cost .
effective and appropriate to designate the Authority as the AB 434
program manager. The Committee also feels that since the
designation of. _program is carried out by the Board of Supervisors
and the Mayors, the Board and the Conference of Mayors should
exercise some responsibility on overseeing the . program. This
responsibility will grow if the Air District should increase
vehicle registration fees to $4/vehicle, effectively doubling the
revenues available to the AB 434 Program Manager. Because of this,
the -Authority will be required to submit the project list to the
Board and the Conference of Mayors for concurrence before the
Authority, adopts the project list.
On March 3 , 1992, the Board of Supervisors requested the Authority
to establish a Countywide forum to address planning, programming,
and implementation .of TDM activities in the County. The Authority
recognized the merits of the proposal and established the forum,
. but provided no staff support to the forum. Subsequently, the
Authority has pursued designation as the AB 434 Program Manager,
and staff has indicated most revenues would ' be directed at TDM
implementation. The prospect of channeling more revenues to TDM
activities underscores the Board's prior concern for integrated TDM
activities in a coordinated and cost effective manner. The annual
.reports submitted to the Board of Supervisors and Conference of
Mayors will provide an.opportunity to monitor these activities and
take any action as appropriate.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
The 40% return funds. from vehicle registration fee surcharge will
stay with the BAAQMD and be used on regional projects.
