In order to effectively execute these planning and programming responsibilities, MTC requires that each transit operator in its region which receives Federal funding through the TIP, prepare, adopt, and submit to MTC a Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP). The preparation of this SRTP has been funded in part by a grant from the United states Department of Transportation (USDOT), through section 5303 of the Federal Transit Act. The contents of this SRTP reflect the views of the Western Contra Costa Transit Authority, and are not necessarily those of the USDOT, the Federal Transit Administration, or the MTC. Western Contra Transit Authority is solely responsible for the accuracy of the information presented in this SRTP. - 3 - WCCTA – SRTP FY 2013- FY 2022 Final Report Table of Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY .............................................................................................................. 8 INTRODUCTION ......................................................................................................................... 13 CHAPTER ONE WCCTA ORGANIZATION AND SERVICE AREA DESCRIPTION ........................................ 15 1.1 Organization structure ....................................................................................................... 15 1.2 Organization structure ....................................................................................................... 19 1.2.1 Background .......................................................................................................... 19 1.2.2 Service Area ......................................................................................................... 22 1.2.3 Transportation Network in Western Contra Costa County .................................. 24 1.2.4 Park and Ride Lots ............................................................................................... 25 1.2.5 Transit Network .................................................................................................... 26 1.3 Service Area Demographics .............................................................................................. 26 1.3.1 Population ............................................................................................................. 26 1.3.2 Demographic Profile ............................................................................................ 28 1.3.3 Commute Patterns ................................................................................................ 28 1.4 Planned Development ........................................................................................................ 32 1.4.1 Hercules ................................................................................................................ 32 1.4.2 Pinole .................................................................................................................... 33 1.4.3 Rodeo, Crockett and Port Costa ........................................................................... 34 1.4.4 Neighboring Communities ................................................................................... 35 1.5 Other Transit Providers ..................................................................................................... 36 1.5.1 AC Transit ............................................................................................................ 36 1.5.2 BART ................................................................................................................... 36 1.5.3 SolTrans ............................................................................................................... 36 1.5.4 Golden Gate Transit ............................................................................................. 37 1.6 Major Trip Generators ....................................................................................................... 37 1.6.1 Retail Centers ....................................................................................................... 37 1.6.2 Schools ................................................................................................................. 38 1.6.3 Medical Centers .................................................................................................... 39 1.6.4 El Cerrito del Norte BART .................................................................................. 39 1.6.5 Job Centers ........................................................................................................... 39 CHAPTER TWO GOALS OBJECTIVES AND PERFORMANCE MONITORING SYSTEM ............................. 41 2.1 Summary of Performance Measurement System .............................................................. 41 2.2 Cost Effective Service ....................................................................................................... 46 2.3 Efficient Transit Service .................................................................................................... 51 -

    El Cerrito February 28, 2017 Hercules El Cerrito City Councilmembers El Sobrante Municipal Advisory Councilmembers Hercules City Councilmembers Pinole City Councilmembers Pinole Richmond City Councilmembers San Pablo City Councilmembers Richmond RE: West County High Capacity Transit Study Update and Presentation Dear Councimembers: Thank you for the opportunity to share with you West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory San Pablo Committee’s progress on its West County High Capacity Transit Study. The study is nearing completion and we are seeking stakeholder and public opinion on the initial draft findings from the study. Your staff have invited us to give presentations to your Councils on the West County High Capacity Transit Study’s highlights and gather community feedback. Contra Costa County BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION In the spring of 2015, WCCTAC launched its West County High Capacity Transit Study. A team of transportation consultants working with the WCCTAC Board and its Technical Advisory Committee and staff developed study goals and objectives and evaluated existing and future AC Transit transportation networks, land uses, and travel markets. The study’s consultants analyzed this information then developed an initial set of alternatives that then underwent a technical evaluation that considered travel time improvements, access to regional transit centers, transit market potential, service to low-income areas and markets lacking major transit connections, etc. BART Throughout this study process, community outreach efforts have been on-going. A study- dedicated website (www.WestCountyTransitStudy.com) provides the public with opportunities to check on the study’s status and review presentations and technical memos. In November 2015, WCCTAC and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) held a joint telephone town hall, which attracted 2,045 total attendees, with 700 callers at its peak and an average of 150 WestCAT 6333 Potrero Avenue, Suite 100, El Cerrito CA 94530 Phone: 510.210.5930 ~ www.wcctac.org attendees over sixty minutes.

  • SAMTRANS CORRESPONDENCE As of 12-11-2020
    SAMTRANS CORRESPONDENCE as of 12-11-2020 December 8, 2020 The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol, Suite 1173 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Newsom: Bay Area transit systems continue to struggle in the face of dramatically reduced ridership and revenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This challenge was already the most significant crisis in the history of public transportation, and now it has persisted far longer than any of us would have predicted. Since the beginning, our workers have been on the front lines, doing their jobs as essential workers, responsible for providing other front line workers with a way to safely travel to and from essential jobs. Now that the availability of a vaccine is on the horizon, we are proud to echo the attached call from the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU). Specifically, we urge you to work to ensure that transit, paratransit, and school transportation workers are prioritized along with other essential workers to receive the vaccine following the critical need to vaccinate the State’s healthcare workers. Even with reduced ridership, an average of 8 million monthly riders continue to depend on Bay Area transit services. These riders are the healthcare workers, grocery clerks, caregivers, emergency services personnel and others doing the critical work that has kept California functioning during the pandemic. They cannot continue to do so without access to reliable public transportation, and are therefore dependent on the health of the transit workers that serve them every day. Our agencies have worked hard to ensure the public health of riders and transit workers during this crisis.
