Contra Costa County Transportation Authority Integrated Transit Plan
TYLin is leading a team developing a comprehensive plan to increase transit mode share in a suburban county in the Bay Area of California.
The plan will take a comprehensive look at how travel patterns have changed post-COVID with new norms around work from home and draw on behavioral science and an equity framework to assess existing barriers to higher transit usage. It will recommend a core transit network to be cooperatively operated by the county’s four different transit agencies, leveraging the county’s strategy of creating regional and local mobility hubs and augmenting public transit with emerging mobility. The project includes public engagement and development of capital projects to implement recommendations.
As a first step, the team facilitated a framing workshop with project stakeholders to brainstorm opportunities to improve transit and mobility services in the county. The results of the workshop are informing parallel workstreams: evaluation criteria, core network service opportunities, first/last mile improvements, policy considerations, and emerging technologies.
