(TVTC) – made up of the Cities of Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton and San Ramon, the Town of Danville, and the Counties of Alameda and Contra Costa – adopted its first Tri-Valley Transportation Plan/Action Plan (the TVTC Plan) in 1995 as a guide for transportation planning throughout the Tri-Valley. That first TVTC Plan identified a coordinated ap- proach to addressing the pressing transportation problems in the Tri-Valley, in- cluding a list of projects and programs needed to address them. Besides coordi- nating the development of those projects and programs, the TVTC Plan led to the adoption of the Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee (TVTDF) which provides funding for some of the key projects included in the plan. 1 The 2014 TVTC Plan is the third major update. It first reassesses transportation issues within the Tri-Valley area, then refines the vision statements, goals, policies, and objectives, and finally, updates the actions, measures, programs, and projects that will help to achieve the plan objectives. The TVTC Plan also consti- tutes the Action Plan for Routes of Regional Significance for Contra Costa juris- dictions, as mandated by Measures C and J, and provides information that can be incorporated into the Congestion Management
