The Southwest Area Transportation Committee (“SWAT”) is one of four Regional Transportation Planning Committees within Contra Costa County, and represents the South County sub-region. It is composed of elected representatives and technical staff from the Cities of Lafayette, Orinda, and San Ramon; the Towns of Danville and Moraga; and the unincorporated area of Southern Contra Costa County. SWAT is responsible for the development of transportation plans, programs, and policies throughout the sub-region as well as the appointment of two representatives to the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (“CCTA”).
The three other Regional Transportation Planning Committees within Contra Costa County are TRANSPAC, TRANSPLAN and WCCTAC.
About CCTA
CCTA is a public agency formed by Contra Costa voters in 1988 to manage the county’s transportation sales tax program and countywide transportation planning, and is responsible for maintaining and improving the county’s transportation system through planning, funding, and delivering transportation infrastructure projects and programs. CCTA is also the county’s designated Congestion Management Agency (CMA), responsible for putting programs in place to keep traffic levels manageable. Read More »
