Overview:
The Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) serves as the congestion management agency and transportation authority for the County of Alameda and is responsible for the planning, programming and allocation of federal, state, regional and local funding for transportation improvements throughout Alameda County. Its mission is to plan, fund and deliver transportation programs and projects that expand access and improve mobility to foster a vibrant and livable Alameda County.
Plan: Alameda CTC develops a range of plans that guide transportation development and funding decisions to ensure the county’s transportation system is sustainable for its growing population. Key plans include:
Fund: Alameda CTC manages the county’s voter-approved transportation expenditure plans for Measure B, Measure BB and the Vehicle Registration Fee, as well as distributes state and federal funds. The agency’s Comprehensive Investment Plan, which identifies anticipated transportation funding over a five-year horizon, facilitates strategic programming and allocation of all fund sources within the agency’s programming purview, matches funding sources to targeted transportation investments. Those investments include bicycle and pedestrian safety, bus and rail services, highway investments, local streets and roads, services for seniors and people with disabilities (paratransit), youth transportation, transit-oriented development and transportation technologies.
Deliver: Alameda CTC is delivering over $8 billion in transportation projects and programs in Alameda County, leveraging local funds to attract regional, state and federal funds that enable Alameda CTC to advance delivery of projects on time and within budget.
