Information

Referral History:

The County’s Climate Action Plan and related data and documents identify emissions from the transportation sector as a major source of greenhouse gas emissions in Contra Costa County. The 2015 Climate Action Plan identifies the expansion of bicycle and pedestrian facilities as an action item. In the community outreach in which staff has engaged for the updates to the General Plan and Climate Action, community members have been clear that increased access to safe bicycle, pedestrian, and transit continue to be priorities. The Interim Climate Action Work Plan for 2021-2022 names as a goal the completion and adoption of the County’s Active Transportation Plan.

Referral Update:

The Contra Costa County Public Works Department is in the process of developing an Active Transportation Plan for the unincorporated County. Public Works presented on the Active Transportation Plan at the June 28, 2021 meeting of the Sustainability Commission, which has been studying the status of the active transportation network in Contra Costa County.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

RECEIVE REPORT on County Active Transportation Plan and PROVIDE DIRECTION as needed.

Fiscal Impact (if any):
