WHY:\u00a0<\/strong> CCTA is responsible for maintaining and improving the County\u2019s transportation system by planning, funding and delivering critical transportation infrastructure projects and programs that connect our communities, foster a strong economy, and safely and efficiently get people where they need to go.

Public input is essential for developing a plan that reflects our shared priorities for transportation options and the public open house is a great opportunity to learn more and make your voice heard.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u2022 An update to the CTP will help to refresh Contra Costa\u2019s transportation vision, goals, and strategies.<\/p>

\u2022 An updated CTP will ensure that the Authority re-calibrates, re-forecasts, re-positions, and re-thinks our transportation future based upon public input.<\/p>

\u2022 Measures C & J require that the Authority develop, adopt, and periodically update the CTP.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) is a public agency formed by Contra Costa voters in 1988 to manage the county’s transportation sales tax program and oversee countywide transportation planning efforts. CCTA is responsible for planning, funding and delivering critical transportation infrastructure projects and programs that connect our communities, foster a strong economy, increase sustainability, and safely and efficiently get people where they need to go. CCTA also serves as the county’s designated Congestion Management Agency, responsible for putting programs in place to keep traffic levels manageable.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":6242,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"news_category":[136,137],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccta.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/5395"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccta.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccta.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ccta.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/5395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccta.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccta.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccta.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=5395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
