WALNUT CREEK, California – The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) is launching a major effort to solicit input into what transportation projects and programs the county should prioritize.
The feedback collected will inform a Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) under development by the agency that will guide investments in capital projects like repaving local roads, creating safer bicycle and pedestrian access, smoothing traffic on highways, and investing in transit infrastructure, as well as programs like enhancing bus service, creating better access to schools, and improving paratransit.
“This is an opportunity to hear from residents about how we can make transportation work better for everyone, no matter how they get around,” stated CCTA Board Chair Julie Pierce. “The public input we collect will ensure that we’re delivering the improvements residents are depending on.”
Contra Costa County residents have multiple channels for providing feedback:

People need to send a message of a No Vote. They already get federal, state, local funds along with the highest gas tax in the nation. We need so many other things beside tripling up on the waste of this authorities spending habits.
