Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee

“The revenues from the TVTD Fees are used to fund the regional Transportation Improvement Projects ("Projects") identified in the Tri-Valley Transportation Plan/Action Plan (TVTP/AP) for Regional Significance and the Strategic Expenditure Plan (SEP), and to pay for TVTC administrative costs as authorized in the TVTC annual budget.”

“This fee is collected for all projects contained within the Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee (TVTD) program, which was established through a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement entered on April 22, 1998, between the City of Dublin, City of Livermore, City of Pleasanton, City of San Ramon, Town of Danville, County of Alameda, and County of Contra Costa. There are two TVTD projects in the adopted City of Dublin Five Year Capital Improvement Program 2024–2029. One TVTD project is Tassajara Road Realignment and Widening – Fallon Road to North City Limit (CIP No. ST0116). The second TVTD project is Tassajara Road Improvements – North Dublin Ranch Drive to Quarry Lane School (CIP No. ST0119).”

“Except for developments listed in Appendix B, all developments within the Tri-Valley development area that receive a land use entitlement from any of the member agencies shall be required to pay the TVTDF.”
