Executive Summary Transpo~afion Service Objectives A key element of the plan is the list of Transportation Service Objectives. These are objectives that the Tri-Valley cities and counties should use as a guide to mz]dng transportation and land use decisions. In Contra Costa County under Measure C, the jurisdictions are required to make a good-faith effort to comply with the transportation service objectives on routes of regional significance or risk the loss of return-to-source funds. In AJ~meda County once the plan is adopted, individual jurisdictions are responsi- ble for maintaining Transportation Service Objectives through their general pl~n-~. The transportation service objectives adopted by the TVTC are as follows: '- · M.int~n Level of Service D (V/C < 0.90 or 0.91) on arterials, and measured at intersections. · M~ntnin level of Service E (V/C < 0.99) on freeways. · Mnint~in Level of Service E conditions on 1-580 for no more than four hours per day (except on Alt~mont Pass) and on 1-680 for no more than eight hours per day. · Do not increase capacity for single-occupant vehicles at gateways. · Increase average vehicle ridership for commute trips by 10 percent. · Increase the transit mode share through providing express transit travel times that are competitive with autos. The TVTP is not intended to be a land use control doe-merit, such as a General Plan. While the plan is based on a set of growth ass-mptions, the plan should not be interpret- ed as limiting growth to the ass-reed levels.

Falling this, the jurisdiction can refer the problem to the TVTC for joint resolution. In the event that the TVTC c~nnot resolve the violation to the mutual satisfaction of all members, the jurisdiction may modify the TSO standard, but only if other jurisdictions are not physical- ly impacted. Action Pb,s in Contra Costa County are required to include the following components: · Long-range ass-mptions regaral ng future land use based on local General · Procedure for review of impacts resulting from proposed local General Plan nmend- ments that have the potential to influence the effectiveness of adopted Action Plnn-~.
