The following gives a brief overview of the agencies. 8.1.1 Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) The CCTA is the County agency established to implement Measure C passed by voters in 1998 and its extension, Measure J, passed in 2004. These measures increased sales tax by one-half percent to fund a list of specific transportation improvement projects in Contra Costa County. Measure C also required the development of a Growth Management Program (GMP) to help control the spread of congestion. The CCTA board includes elected officials from the 18 cities within the County and the County itself. CCTA is responsible for preparing and updating the Countywide Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CCTP), which lays out the transportation vision and specific improvement projects for the county. The CCTA includes several Regional Transportation Planning Committees that cover specific sub-areas of the County. Richmond and West Contra Costa County are within the West Contra Costa County Transportation Advisory Committee’s (WCCTAC) purview. The WCCTAC prepares a regional Action Plan (see below) that was last updated in July 2000. The CCTA also prepared the state-mandated Congestion Management Plan. 8.1.2 West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee The WCCTAC, under a joint powers agreement, is composed of elected officials from six member jurisdictions: El Cerrito, Hercules, Pinole, Richmond (three members), San Pablo, and Contra Costa County. The WCCTAC also includes members from three of the area’s transit providers: Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit), Western Contra Costa County Transit Authority (WestCAT), and Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART). The WCCTAC prepared the West Contra Costa Action Plan 2000 Update, a revision to the West County Action Plan that was adopted in 1994. These Plans assess transportation issues within West Contra Costa County and outline a recommended package of goals, objectives and actions for addressing those issues. The Action Plan DRAFT 3 City of Richmond General Plan Update feeds into the Countywide Comprehensive Transportation Plan (Congestion Management Plan). The latest CMP update was adopted by the CCTA in 2005. Table 8.1: Routes of Regional Significance and Associated TSOs Route of Regional Traffic Service Objective Significance • Increase HOV lane usage by 10% • 10% increase in transit ridership I-80 • Maintain LOS "E" on all segments • 2,000 daily ridership on Capitol and San Joaquin Corridor trains • Complete the I-80 Bikeway Corridor between the El Cerrito del Norte BART station & Hercules • Achieve a drive alone rate no greater than 75% I-580 • 5% increase in transit ridership • Achieve LOS "E" or better on all segments • Establish direct or indirect bicycle access over the Richmond – San Rafael Bridge • 5% increase in transit ridership for bus lines that serve regionally significant arterials 23rd Street • Maintain LOS "D" or better on all segments of regionally significant arterials • Provide a bikeway network along regionally significant arterials 5% increase in transit ridership for bus lines that serve regionally significant arterials Carlson • Boulevard • Maintain LOS "D" or better on all segments of regionally significant arterials • Provide a bikeway network along regionally significant arterials 5% increase in transit ridership for bus lines that serve regionally significant arterials Cutting • Boulevard • Maintain LOS "D" or better on all segments of regionally significant arterials • Provide a bikeway network along regionally significant arterials • 5% increase in transit ridership for bus lines that serve regionally significant arterials El Portal Drive • Maintain LOS "D" or better on all segments of regionally significant arterials • Provide a bikeway network along regionally significant arterials 5% increase in transit ridership for bus lines that serve regionally significant arterials San Pablo • Avenue • Maintain LOS "D" or better on all segments of regionally significant arterials • Provide a bikeway network along regionally significant arterials • Achieve a drive alone rate of no more than 75% • Increase average ridership as much as possible with initial goal of achieving a 10% increase to 3,000 average weekday daily riders San Pablo Dam • The ratio of peak hour travel time to off-peak travel time (delay index) should be no greater than Road 2.0 • The maximum wait time for drivers on side streets wishing to access San Pablo Dam Road should be no greater than one signal cycle length • Provide facilities to improve pedestrian and bicycle access with related safety enhancements along San Pablo Dam Road 5% increase in transit ridership for bus lines that serve regionally significant arterials Richmond • Parkway • Maintain LOS "D" or better on all segments of regionally significant arterials • Identify and apply for funding for bikeways on or near the Richmond Parkways In addition to laying out planned future transportation improvement projects, the Action Plan designates Routes of Regional Significance and sets Traffic Service Objectives (TSOs). The Action Plan sets TSOs (Table 8.1 lists the TSOs for the facilities in the Transportation Analysis Study Area, plus the freeways serving the Planning Area) for the Routes of Regional Significance based on travel speeds and delay indices, and the Traffic Service Objective Monitoring Report monitors the operating conditions on a four to five year basis. Travel speeds are taken directly from field measurements, and delay indices 4 DRAFT Issues & Opportunities: Transportation & Circulation are computed as the ratio between point-to-point travel time under free-flow conditions versus congested (i.e., peak period) conditions. The TSO Monitoring Report provides the most up-to-date results for the TSOs outlined in the Action Plan. 8.1.3 Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) The MTC is the Bay Area’s regional transportation planning agency and is responsible for the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), a comprehensive blueprint for the development of mass transit, highway, airport, seaport, railroad, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. The RTP is a 20-year plan and is updated every two years. The Commission also screens requests from local agencies for state and federal grants for transportation projects to determine compatibility with the RTP. MTC is the federally-designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Bay Area. In recent years, state and federal laws have given MTC an increasingly important role in financing Bay Area transportation improvements. Most significant was the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), which increased the powers of MPOs like MTC to determine the mix of transportation projects best suited to meet their region’s needs. MTC also administers state monies, including those provided by the Transportation Development Act. Legislation passed in 1997 gives MTC increased decision-making authority over the selection of projects and allocation of funds for the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). 8.2 ROADWAY SYSTEM 8.2.1 Street Classifications Map 8.1 illustrates the roadway system in the Planning Area including the Routes of Regional Significance as designated by the CCTA. The system is composed of freeways, parkways, major thoroughfares, secondary thoroughfares, and minor streets. Freeways serve regional and inter-city trips and are maintained by the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). In Richmond, I-580 and I-80 are state- maintained freeways. Parkways are highways that provide movement of through traffic at speeds exceeding those acceptable on other surface streets. Access is controlled and at- grade crossings are permitted. The Richmond Parkway is the only parkway in the City. The current Richmond General Plan (1994) defines Routes of Regional Significance, major thoroughfares and secondary thoroughfares as follows: Routes of Regional Significance – Roadways that connect two or more "regions" of Contra Costa County, cross Contra Costa County boundaries, carry a significant amount of traffic, or provide access to a regional highway or a transit facility.

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.
