Neighborhood Traffic Management

Overview

The Contra Costa County Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) represents the County's commitment to the safety and livability of its neighborhoods. It is a community-based approach to traffic calming. The program is designed to educate and empower residents with the tools to evaluate, develop, and program traffic management solutions.

The Program, along with the Tool Kit presented within the Program Document, provides a process for identifying, measuring, and dealing with problems related to traffic safety on local streets. This process also facilitates the County's goal to "provide for safe and efficient vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle movements on Contra Costa County streets."
