Other I-Bond Funding Sources Could Boost Contra Costa Projects

Other I-Bond Funding Sources Could Boost Contra Costa Projects• Corridor Mobility

Program• Trade Corridors• State-Local Partnership• Transit Security

Decisions to be made by CTC

Eligible Projects could include:

Caldecott Tunnel 4th bore e-BART Highway 4 widening

More Work to Be DoneMore Work to Be Done

I-Bond an important step in the right direction

Respects local decision-making instead of specific earmarks

Leaves $12–15 billion hole that still must be filled

Other Potential Revenue SourcesOther Potential Revenue Sources

Steep hill to climb

To make wise investment choices, MTC supports performance-based approach

MTC will need help from local partners, state legislators
