The following sections provide background on each member agency, their individual missions and responsibilities, and how they work together under the SMCEL-JPA to advance regional mobility and manage the Express Lanes Program.

C/CAG
The City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) is a joint powers agency whose members include the County of San Mateo and the twenty (20) incorporated cities and towns within San Mateo County. C/CAG is governed by a 21-member Board of Directors and is advised by nine standing committees. C/CAG is the designated Congestion Management Agency (CMA) in San Mateo County, also known as the County Transportation Agency (CTA), the Airport Land Use Commission, and the Countywide Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program Manager. C/CAG provides a collaborative forum for all jurisdictions in San Mateo County to pursue our goals for a safe, equitable, and accessible multi-modal transportation network and an environmentally sustainable, climate resilient future. More information on C/CAG can be found at https://ccag.ca.gov/. 

San Mateo County Transportation Authority (TA)

The TA plans, funds and delivers transportation programs and projects throughout San Mateo County and was formed to administer the proceeds from Transportation sales tax measures (Measure A and Measure W) to fund a broad spectrum of transportation-related projects and programs. The TA has invested approximately $2 billion in transportation infrastructure projects in San Mateo County since 1988.  More information on the TA can be found at https://www.smcta.com/. 

San Mateo County Express Lanes Joint Powers Authority (SMCEL-JPA)

The San Mateo County Express Lane is a dual-agency project constructed with the goal to reduce traffic congestion, and to promote carpooling and transit use on US Highway 101 (US 101) in San Mateo County. The project was initiated in 2018 between the city/county Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority (TA). 

In June 2019, C/CAG and TA approved a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JEPA), allowing both entities equitable involvement in the SMCEL program. The agreement designated a JPA to manage the express lanes, which would be governed by a Board containing equal representation from each agency. Additionally, the JEPA established an Executive Council, which is formed by the Executive Directors of both agencies, and hired consultant support to develop and implement policies.

Since the JPA was established in 2019, two segments of the Express Lanes have been constructed. The south segment opened in 2022, and the north segment opened in 2023. The JPA manages 22 miles of express lanes on US 101 from Interstate 380 in South San Francisco to the San Mateo County/Santa Clara County border.   More information on the JPA can be found at https://101expresslanes.org/. 

Both C/CAG and the TA aim to create an environment where all employees are treated with fairness and respect, regardless of their background, and one where their unique perspectives are celebrated. The agencies are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workforce, and welcome candidates who share commitment to these values.

Village Park Preschool Program

Village Park Preschool is a play-based preschool program offered by the City of Burlingame Parks and Recreation Department at Village Park. We offer 3 programs: Lil’ Sprouts (2 year olds), Cottage Kids (3 year olds), and Afternoon Owls (3 year olds).  The emphasis of the program is physical, social, and emotional growth in a child-centered environment. Activities are designed to foster a healthy child that develops an early love of learning. Village Park Preschool programs strive to create an environment inspiring each child’s individual creativity and self-expression. Children participate in arts/crafts, music, body movement, basic science, cognitive games, creative/dramatic play, cooking, circle and story time, fine and gross motor skill building, and phonics awareness.
