Advisory Committees

The Accessible Transportation Strategic Plan (ATSP) was born from the 2017 Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP). The CTP found a need to address the challenges associated with: (1) different types of accessible transportation services; (2) multiple transportation providers including cities/towns, transit operators, social services agencies, and non-profit organizations; and (3) diverse, and sometimes overlapping, service areas. The 2020 Transportation Expenditure Plan further set expectations for the ATSP to ultimately “implement a customer-focused, user-friendly, seamless coordinated system”. To help guide the implementation of the ATSP, the Authority Board established a Task Force that will meet throughout the year along with working group meetings as needed. One of the first recommendations set forth by this task force is to identify mobility strategies that can be delegated to existing agencies or non-profit organizations.

The primary role of the Bus Transit Coordinating Committee (BTCC) is to oversee and make recommendations for the programming and expenditures of Measure J transit and express bus funds. The BTCC also provides a forum to consider countywide bus issues and inform the Ex-offico bus transit representative of those issues for informing the Authority Board.

The focus of the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) is to provide Contra Costa County citizen perspective, participation and involvement in Authority policy development and implementation.
