Besides being responsible for the
Measure C Growth Management Program,
the Authority serves as the
Congestion Management Agency (CMA)
for Contra Costa. Each CMP must
contain several components:
- Traffic
level-of-service standards that
apply to a system that includes at
least all State highways and
principal arterials
- A performance
element that includes performance
measures to evaluate current and
future multi-modal system
performance for the movement of
people and goods;
- A seven-year
capital improvement program that
maintains or improves the
performance of the multi-modal
system for the movement of people
and goods or mitigates regional
transportation impacts identified in
the land use evaluation program;
- A program to
analyze the impacts of land use
decisions made by local
jurisdictions on regional
transportation systems, including an
estimate of the costs associated
with mitigating those impacts; and
- A travel demand
element that promotes transportation
alternatives to the single-occupant
vehicle.
The CMP must be
updated every other year. The
Authority adopted the county’s first
Congestion Management Program (CMP)
in October 1991 and the most recent
CMP, the
2007 CMP,
on November 28, 2007.
