RECOMMENDATION(S):
AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to send a letter to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) expressing support for the Contra Costa Transportation Authority's grant application, "Accessible Transportation Strategic Plan".
FISCAL IMPACT:
No Impact.
BACKGROUND:
The subject project addressed in the attached draft letter, the Accessible Transportation Strategic (ATS) Plan, is a culmination of both the 2016 Measure X Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) effort and the 2017 Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP). Both plans were developed under the leadership of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (Authority). This particular activity, accessible transportation(1), was the subject of several comment letters from the Board of Supervisors and numerous conversations between County and Authority staff. During the TEP and CTP development, both the Authority Board and Staff were responsive and supportive of County comments relative to the ATS Plan.
