Antioch, CA, – Eastern Contra Costa Transit Authority (Tri Delta Transit) is seeking community input to improve public transit service in eastern Contra Costa County.
Over the last few years, new housing developments, a new Los Medanos Brentwood campus and commercial and retail centers have been built in the Tri Delta Transit service area. These changes have impacted both traffic patterns and the places passengers want to go. Tri Delta Transit keeps pace with these changes by regularly evaluating service and asking the community for input. Tri Delta Transit service will also need to be adjusted to serve the new Oakley Park & Ride lot which is expected to open in the fall of 2021.
The Transform Tri Delta Transit project will first seek input from residents to learn what is important to them. An interactive survey is available on the project page at http://www.transformtrideltatransit.com and invites users to design a new transit system using an interactive game to make improvements that are of value to them. Tri Delta Transit will compare that feedback to its existing service and revise its system to better meet the needs of current and potential riders. The survey is also available on paper or can be taken over the phone by calling 925-285- 8076 8am to 8pm weekdays.
Those who give their input will be entered to win one of three $35 Amazon gift cards.
“The Transform Tri Delta Transit project is an exciting opportunity to learn more about how our community envisions the future of Tri Delta Transit’s service in eastern Contra Costa County.” stated Tri Delta Transit CEO, Jeanne Krieg.
Tri Delta Transit expects to have its revised routes and transit improvements ready to present to the community this winter when they will conduct another round of outreach and feedback on the proposed changes.
Roll out of the new transit service is expected in summer 2021 with the opening of the new Oakley Park & Ride following in the fall. The new Oakley Park & Ride lot will be located on Main Street, northwest of East Cypress Road. Once complete, it will offer 168 free commuter parking spaces.

Please coordinate with Delaney Park for a new Park n Ride specifically express service going to the Bart Hillcrest station since we don’t have a bus service in our community here in Emerson Ranch, Delaney Park, Summerlake etc and by the time we go to the bart Hillcrest station there is no more parking space and have to go to WC bart station to park our car. Can we have also the MyRide in our area.
