ECCTA terminated the AC Transit contract in 1984, consolidating bothfixed route and paratransit operations under its agreement with CTS.The CTS operating and maintenance facility was located at a formerU.S. Steel facility in Pittsburg, while ECCTA administrative offices werelocated on Sycamore Drive in Antioch. In 1986, ECCTA replaced CTSwith Laidlaw Transit Services, Inc. as its service contractor. Laidlaw or,it’s successor organization continues in this capacity today (Laidlawwas purchased by First Transit in late 2007). The current serviceagreement was renewed effective July 2006 for a three year term withthree, one-year optional extensions.The existing ECCTA facility at 801 Wilbur Avenue in Antioch wasconstructed and occupied in 1987, consolidating operations,maintenance and administrative functions of ECCTA and its servicecontractor at a single location. This facility was expanded in February2004 and additional bus parking was occupied across Minaker Drivefrom the facility in July 2004.Beginning in the mid 1980’s and continuing through the 1990’s, ECCTAexpanded local fixed route service, adding neighborhoods in Pittsburgand southeast Antioch, and improved service coverage in Brentwood,Oakley and rural East County. When BART rail service was extendedfrom North Concord to the Bay Point station in December 1996, ECCTArevised a number of routes to provide BART feeder service andimproved express service along the Highway 4 corridor. The City ofOakley incorporated in 1999 and joined the JPA.In 2001, ECCTA began operation of Delta Express commuter expressservice to the Lawrence Livermore/Sandia Laboratory, and the DublinBART station area. A Delta Express service to downtown Martinez wasadded in March of 2004. In August 2007, local transit service wasextended from Bay Point over Willow Pass to Concord. This new Route201 provides direct, no transfer service for the hundreds of Bay Pointstudents who attend high school in Concord, and links with otherneeded services such as health care in northeast Concord.GovernanceECCTA is governed by an eleven-member board of directors composedof two appointed representatives from each of the JPA memberjurisdictions and a single, member at large selected by the other tenboard members on a biennial basis. The appointed representatives areselected by the mayor and/or city council of each of the four cities withtwo more appointed by the county Board of Supervisors. There iscurrently no term of expiration for the ten, city/county appointedboard members. The Board meets once a month at ECCTA’sadministrative office. In addition, two formal subcommittees areconvened as needed:• Administration and Budget Committee - oversees financialactivities of the organization, including purchasing, contracts,bookkeeping and accounting, grant applications, and farepolicy.10
• Marketing and Operations Committee - oversees serviceplanning, public information, customer service, and advertisingpolicies.The Board may also convene special ad-hoc committees to considerpersonnel matters, handle contract negotiations and conduct otherbusiness as required on an “as necessary” basis.ECCTA directly employs more than 30 personnel for administrative,maintenance, finance, marketing, customer service, contract managementand transit planning. ECCTA contracts with First Transit, a private forprofitcompany, for the services of more than 150 bus operators,supervisors and operations management. First Transit is responsible forscreening, hiring, testing and supervision of all operations staff and thebooking, scheduling and dispatching of all paratransit trips. The Board ofDirectors appoints a Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who in turn issupported by the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer,Director of Administrative Services, Director of Marketing, otheradministrative staff, as well as a Project Manager employed by theoperations contractor.Figure 1.211
