WCCTAC is one of four Regional Transportation Planning Committees in Contra Costa County. The Regional Transportation Planning Committees were created to manage the 1988 Measure “C” 1/2 cent transportation sales tax projects and programs, and its Extension, Measure J, approved by Contra Costa voters in 2004. In addition to managing revenues from Measures C and J, WCCTAC also administers the sub-regional transportation mitigation fee program (STMP), and participates in defining and implementing policies, programs and projects to improve local and regional transportation and air quality.

WCCTAC is governed by a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement between the following member agencies: the cities of El Cerrito, Hercules, Pinole, Richmond, San Pablo; Contra Costa County; and the transit providers, AC Transit, BART, and WestCAT.

The current WCCTAC Board members are:

City of El Cerrito	Janet Abelson
City of Hercules	Ed Balico
City of Pinole	Roy Swearingen, Vice Chair
City of Richmond	Thomas Butt
City of Richmond	Jeff Ritterman
City of Richmond	Maria Viramontes, Chair
City of San Pablo	Genoveva Calloway

Two WCCTAC members Janet Abelson and Maria Viramontes also serve on the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) Board, and a third member Ed Balico serves on the CCTA Board as the appointee from the Contra Costa Mayors’ Conference.  Genoveva Calloway is WCCTAC Alternate to the CCTA Board.

CCTA is the countywide governing body for Measures C and J as well as state and federal transportation revenues that are allocated to Contra Costa County. CCTA also serves as the county’s Congestion Management Agency (CMA).
