The sales tax measure for Santa Clara County passed,
while the one for Contra Costa County failed.
TRANSDEF’s ballot arguments were printed in the
Contra Costa Voters’ Guide, so we helped defeat an
ill-conceived measure.

Contra Costa Stuck in the Past
10/15/14 Filed in: Transportation
Planning | Climate
Change
Contra Costa County’s
Transportation Authority has released a
draft 2014 Countywide Comprehensive
Transportation Plan. It is a classic suburban plan
that ignores the fundamental challenges posed by
climate change and congestion. TRANSDEF
submitted comments that attempt to identify a
different, more realistic pathway. We believe
these comments are widely applicable to suburbia.

Costa page for more.
