In this special Measure J episode, CCTA Executive Director Tim Haile is joined by Contra Costa County Supervisors Diane Burgis and Ken Carlson (also CCTA Board Members!) for a conversation about how local transportation funding shapes everyday life across the county.

Together, they break down what Measure J is, why it matters, and how a half-cent local sales tax supports everything from road maintenance and congestion relief to transit, safety improvements, and innovative transportation programs. The discussion also highlights how Measure J investments are planned, delivered, and tailored to meet the unique needs of Contra Costa’s cities and communities.

Whether you’re curious about where transportation dollars go or how local decisions translate into real-world improvements, this episode offers a clear, practical look at how Measure J continues to move Contra Costa forward.
