As a result of that, the O&S Committee directed County Connection staff to add buses to Route 20 to accommodate the demand for service to DVC. They came prepared, showing the committee photographs of the overcrowding and advocated for more service. Last year, DVC students attended a meeting of the County Connection Operations & Scheduling (O&S) Committee to talk about over-crowding on Route 20 between the Concord BART station and DVC. Routes 314, 316, and 320 serve the Pleasant Hill campus on weekends. Of course people living locally can use County Connection quite easily to get to DVC too.
This is important as many DVC students come from outside central Contra Costa County.
These connections to BART allow students and faculty to use public transit regionally to access DVC. All of these routes directly serve a BART station. County Connection riders can use routes 9, 18, 20, or 28 to access DVC. It allows us to safely and conveniently serve more people with public transit at DVC’s largest campus.Ĭurrently, over 1,000 students and faculty use County Connection to access DVC Pleasant Hill on a daily basis. This project, which was funded in large part through a federal transportation earmark garnered by then Congresswoman Ellen Tauscher and supported by local Measure J funds, is vital to the modernization of the DVC campus. In late 2010, a new County Connection Transit Center was opened at DVC Pleasant Hill. San Ramon Campus is accessible using County Connection route 35. We consider DVC to be one of our most valuable partners. This is where County Connection comes in.Ĭounty Connection has a long history of providing service to DVC. The Pleasant Hill campus has approximately 2,000 parking spaces. The challenge both face is parking for its students, faculty and staff. Between its two campuses, DVC serves more than 22,000 students each semester. The newer San Ramon Campus serves the south county in Dougherty Valley. The larger of DVC’s two campuses is located off Interstate 680 in Pleasant Hill. On-site stormwater management with bioretention and significant areas of permeable pavers were incorporated.Diablo Valley College (DVC) has provided quality education for over 60 years and is one of three publicly supported two-year community colleges in the Contra Costa Community College District. A state-of-the-art water efficient irrigation system is centrally controlled by facilities/maintenance staff. Large expanses of lawn have been converted to drought tolerant planting. The landscape design utilizes climate appropriate, low water use plant material. This reinvented plaza is a special and intimate place with seating clusters grouped around the featured fountain. MMP designed a unique sculptural fountain made of multiple vertical stones spilling water into a subsurface recirculating system to replace an outdated fountain on the quad. Key to the success of this urban design is the flexibility of uses, including an outdoor learning environment with attractive outdoor rooms and an indoor/outdoor café and multi-use courtyard. The siting of the buildings created an open space spine linking new to existing facilities and culminating in a quad-like area and activity hub. The Diablo Valley College (DVC) San Ramon expansion brought a new Library and Learning Resource Center to the campus.
