In developing transportation related issues and proposals to bring forward for consideration by TWIC, staff receives input from the Board of Supervisors (BOS), references the County's adopted Legislative Platforms, coordinates with our legislative advocates, partner agencies and organizations, and consults with the Committee itself.

Background: The Accessible Transportation Strategic (ATS) Plan was included as an action in the 2016 Measure X Transportation Expenditure Plan.

CCTA and County staff collaborated on a Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant to develop the ATS Plan and the grant was awarded to CCTA in early in 2018. Both agencies are now working collaboratively on the ATS Plan. Grant match funding requirements are being met by by CCTA (cash contribution) and County (in-kind staff time).

Update/Status: The Planning process is currently in an initation phase which includeds developing necessary agreements, contracts, and supporting documentation.
