The West Contra Costa Transportation Commission (WCCTC) on Sept. 4, 2026, set the boundaries for which local transportation projects new development will help pay for over the next 25 years. Commissioners voted to move a draft project list into the 2027 nexus study and made clear that freeway express buses and new transit buses should look elsewhere for money. Separately, the board directed a letter to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) after staff found Clipper card retail gaps hitting cash-reliant, low-income riders.
- Draft STMP project list advances to the 2027 nexus study on a 10-0 roll call
- Commissioners steer I-80 express bus and AC Transit fleet costs away from developer fees
- Clipper retail gaps in West County prompt a chair-led letter to MTC
- Staff clarifies limits: fees pay for planning, design and capital work, not operations
The basics: The Subregional Transportation Mitigation Program (STMP) has charged new development a fee since 1997 under Measure C and Measure J growth-management rules so projects pay their share of transportation impacts. A nexus study is the legal analysis tying a fee to the impacts it addresses.
