Information

Referral History:

This is an annual Administrative Item of the Committee.

Referral Update:

See attached recommended referrals to the Committee for 2018.

Discussion of recommended changes:
17: Review transportation plans and services for specific populations, including but not limited to County Low Income Transportation Action Plan, Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan for the Bay Area, Priorities for Senior Mobility, Bay Point Community Based Transportation Plan, and the Contra Costa County ~~Mobility Management Plan~~ Accessible Transportation Strategic Plan~~, and the work of Contra Costans for Every Generation~~.

The Contra Costa Mobility Management Plan (2013) was replaced with the Accessible Transportation Strategic Plan. The Mobility Management Plan was finalized in 2013. For a variety of reasons the plan was never implemented and now appears to be "on a shelf".

The ATS Plan is proposed to be on the referral list due to its inclusion as a standing implementation action in the Contra Costa Transportation Authority's (CCTA) 2017 Countywide Transportation Plan. CCTA and the County have jointly developed several grant applications to fund the Plan. The most recent was submitted by CCTA in February 2018 for a Caltrans SB1 Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant.

Contra Costans for Every Generation was removed as it appears that the organization has not been active for some time.

21: Monitor efforts at the State to revise school siting guidelines and statutes.
The Committee has regularly discussed this issue in the past under referral #1: Review legislative matters on transportation, water, and infrastructure. The specific item is being added for several reasons, 1) the request from the Hazardous Materials Commission relative to school siting and safety (proximity to rail, industrial uses), and 2) to make the referral an explicit responsibility of TWIC given the formal school siting policy review process underway at the State.

22: Monitor issues related to docked and dockless bike share programs.

Staff is requesting that the Committee add this item to the Committees referrals in order to facilitate a County response to this rapidly emerging issue. Staff from numerous Departments have been contacted on issues relative to the dockless programs and have come to learn that other public agencies either have or are developing policies on these new programs.

23: Monitor efforts related to water conservation including but not limited to turf conversion, graywater, and other related landscaping issues.

This item is being proposed by staff in response to the discussion at the December 2017 regarding water conservation. The follow up items for staff included specific direction and indicated an ongoing roll in of the Committee monitoring progress on this topic.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

CONSIDER recommendations on referrals to the Committee for 2018, REVISE as necessary, and DIRECT staff to bring the list to the full Board of Supervisors for approval.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

There is no fiscal impact.
