Contra Costa's countywide bike-pedestrian advisory body spent much of its July 27, 2026, meeting asking a single question about three funding pipelines: what's in it for people walking and biking? The Countywide Active Transportation Advisory Committee (CATAC, formerly CBPAC) reviewed a $14.3M transit signal priority bid, a $40M Vasco Road safety project seeking a Complete Streets exemption, and scoring rules for $8.1M in Measure J bike, pedestrian and trail grants. The only recorded votes approved minutes and revised bylaws.
- $14.3M cloud-based transit signal priority proposed for about 279 intersections; members probed bike and pedestrian payoff
- $40M Vasco Road median project seeks Complete Streets exemption, with no bike or pedestrian facilities planned
- $8.1M bike-ped grant cycle keeps its 75-point scoring scheme; applications close Aug. 17
- Revised bylaws adopted 7-0 with one abstention and head to the CCTA board in September
- Five state e-bike bills tracked as CCTA plans a countywide e-bike toolkit for cities
The basics: Transit signal priority (TSP) lets traffic signals adjust to keep buses moving. CCTA is applying for state Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) funds. Under MTC Resolution 4493, regional funding requires a Complete Streets checklist, which brings projects like this one before the committee.
