SUBJECT: Designation of Regional Transportation Planning Committees as County
TDM Coordinators within their Respective Jurisdictions
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Designate the following Regional Transportation Planning Committees
to act as County TDM Coordinators for unincorporated territory
within the jurisdictional boundaries of each committee: TRANSPAC
(except for Pleasant Hill BART Station Area) , TRANSPLAN, and

None. -The transportation demand management (TDM) programs of the
regional committees are funded by Measure C (1988) funds and AB 434
funds from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
During the past two years, all local jurisdictions in Contra Costa
County have adopted employer-based TDM ordinances as a result of
Measure C (1988) , Proposition 111, and the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District's trip reduction rule. To more effectively
administer these ordinances and to take advantage of funding
opportunities available through Measure C and AB 434, the local
jurisdictions in three of the four Regional Transportation Planning
Committees, TRANSPAC, TRANSPLAN, and WCCTAC, have agreed to jointly
administer their ordinances through their regional committees.
They have obtained grants and hired staff. In addition, SWAT' is
presently consideringa coordinated approach as well.

The County' s TDM ordinance (Ordinance 92-31) designates the Director of
Community Development as the County TDM Coordinator " . . unless the Board
designates another person or organization to perform this function. " The
Transportation Committee recommends that the County participate fully in the
regional TDM programs, with the, following exception: the Pleasant Hill BART
Station Area should continue under County administration for the present. The
County contracts with the Contra Costa Centre Association to operate the TDM
program in this area, using fees collected from development in the
unincorporated area surrounding the BART station. The Committee also expects
to recommend that the County participate in the SWAT program once that committee
agrees on the structure of its TDM program.
