Project Summary
In 1991, the California State Legislature enacted a vehicle registration fee increase specific to the San Francisco Bay Area region with the purpose of funding programs and projects that reduce motor vehicle emissions. This legislation also stipulates each of the nine counties in the Bay Area receive forty percent (40%) of the registration fees collected. This 40% share of funds reserved for the counties is called the TFCA 40% Fund. As the designated Congestion Transportation Agency for Contra Costa County, the Contra Costa Authority has been designated as the Administering Agency (formerly called Program Manager) and is responsible for allocating the TFCA 40% Fund to public agencies within Contra Costa County.

Originally signed onto this project in fall 2024 as a consulting planner, as of February 2025 I have managed the program remotely through responsive, collaborative interfacing with project sponsors (i.e, municipal fund recipients within Contra Costa) and the primary client, CCTA.
