About Our History & Background

The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) policy requires each Contra Costa jurisdiction to develop and implement a trip reduction and travel demand management program based on a model approved by CCTA.

The program efforts include working on cooperative inter-jurisdictional trip reduction and air quality related efforts and the implementation of the programs aimed at achieving the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) goals set forth in the sub-area Action plans, the Countywide Comprehensive Transportation Plan, the Measure C and Measure J Strategic Plan, the Congestion Management Programs and the Bay Area Clean Air Plan.

To assist local jurisdictions in implementing TDM ordinance requirements, the CCTA allocates Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) funds to these programs on an annual basis to implement transportation control measures that reduce vehicle emissions.

Funding for the program is provided by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s Transportation Fund for Clean Air, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority, and the communities of Alamo, Danville, San Ramon, Lafayette, Orinda and Moraga – all jurisdictions in Contra Costa County.

The Program is administered by the City of San Ramon with support from a third-party administrator, ALTRANS Transportation Management Association.
