Central Contra Costa Transit Authority (CCCTA) -A joint powers agency of 11 jurisdictions, including: the cities of Clayton, Concord, Lafayette, Martinez, Orinda, Pleasant Hill, San Ramon, Walnut Creek; the towns of Danville and Moraga; and the unincorporated areas of central Contra Costa County. Contra Costa County is one of the nine counties that make up California’s San Francisco Bay Area.
CCCTA serves a dynamic and diverse modern suburban area that is geographically spread out. Serving such an area is both challenging and rewarding. CCCTA patrons are ethnically and economically diverse, and often transit dependent. Without CCCTA services, many central Contra Costa County residents would have no transportation available for work, school, medical appointments or to take advantage of recreational opportunities. For them CCCTA is a life sustaining service!
CCCTA is overseen by an 11-member Board of Directors, and provides both fixed-route and ADA paratransit services.
