Contra Costa are needed to resolve the serious countywide traffic
congestion that threaten the economic viability of the area and

transportation improvements and maintenance and to meet local
transportation needs in a timely manner; and

Board of Supervisors through their Regional Transportation
Planning Committees and the Contra Costa Transportation

with current and anticipated traffic congestion and on a proposed
Transportation Improvement and Growth Management Expenditure Plan
to adequately fund the implementation of these essential projects;

has been developed which includes the following:

be met by a local jurisdiction to receive local street
maintenance and improvement allocations.
WHEREAS, the Draft Transportation Expenditure Plan has been
subject to public hearings; and
