Title
West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee
Description
The West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee(WCCTAC) is one of four Regional Transportation Planning Committees in Contra Costa County. WCCTAC is governed by a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement between the following member agencies: the cities of El Cerrito, Hercules, Pinole, Richmond, San Pablo; Contra Costa County; and the transit providers, AC Transit, BART, and WestCAT.
The Regional Transportation Planning Committees were created to manage the 1988 Measure C 1/2 cent transportation sales tax projects and programs. In addition to managing revenues from Measure C, WCCTAC also participates in defining and implementing policies, programs, and projects to improve local and regional transportation and air quality.
Two WCCTAC members also sit on the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) Board. CCTA is the countywide governing body for Measure C as well as state and federal transportation revenues that are allocated to Contra Costa County. CCTA also serves as the county's Congestion Management Authority.
