About Us

Need a Hand With Transportation?

511 Contra Costa is your 411 on transportation information to work, school, or around town for all of Contra Costa County. We provide trip planning services for commuters and residents who need help planning their bicycle trip to work or school, as well as trip planning assistance with the various public transportation agencies in the area. Need to find your nearest Park-and-Ride lot or transit transfer station? Want to know how to get from one county to the next on public transit, or how you can help your Aunt Mary plan her trip from Santa Barbara to Martinez via the train? Whether you’re a cyclist, employer concerned about your employees’ commute, a commuter, school principal, or senior, we’ve got you covered with transportation information.

What 511 Contra Costa is All About

511 Contra Costa is a comprehensive Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program that promotes alternatives to the single occupant vehicle. We encourage what we call green commutes via the utilization of alternative modes of transportation that improve traffic congestion and improve air quality by maximizing the use of the entire transportation network. Commute options include carpooling, vanpooling, telecommuting, biking, transit, and walking.

Sponsorship

We’re sponsored by all twenty jurisdictions in Contra Costa County, CA through four regional transportation planning committees – SWAT (southwest county), TRANSPAC (central county), TRANSPLAN (east county), and WCCTAC (west county).

Funding

Funding for 511 Contra Costa programs and projects is provided primarily by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s Transportation Fund for Clean Air and the local half-cent sales tax, known as Measure J, approved by voters in the County in 2004 and administered by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority. A portion of our Employer Outreach services and programs are funded by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Congestion Mitigation Air Quality funds.
