The Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (“CMA”) is responsible for planning, programming, and coordination of federal, state, and regional funds for transportation projects within Alameda County. Over the last few years, CMA has partnered with other state and local agencies and taken on additional responsibilities in the delivery of projects. In an effort to increase awareness of CMA and its projects and to encourage participation, CMA has developed the Contractor Outreach Program.

CMA is committed to equal opportunity. We encourage small, local and disadvantaged business enterprises to participate in our contracting process. The Contractor Outreach Program actively pursues contracting, subcontracting, and procurement opportunities for small, local and disadvantaged business enterprises. The program is firmly committed to providing equal employment and business opportunities for all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, sexual orientation and other protected classes. Bidders are required not to discriminate when soliciting for and committing to subcontractors, sub-consultants, and suppliers.
