What if decision makers in Contra Costa County listened to you before deciding what bike projects to fund? What are your top 5 projects? Cast your vote here!
Over the next four years, over $45 million will be programmed for new transportation projects in Contra Costa County, $24 million for bike/ped/transit projects and $21 million for repaving local streets and roads. While all of the projects funded with this money are required to accommodate bicyclists, this accommodation requirement is only a ‘policy’ and won’t translate into new bikeways unless you help us make it a reality where you ride. In response to the “Call for Projects,” the CCTA received 22 “competitive” OBAG funding requests totaling $57.8 million for an available funding amount of $24.3 million.
