The Contra Costa Community College District is a public community college district of three colleges serving residents of Contra Costa County, California: Diablo Valley College (DVC), Contra Costa College (CCC), and Los Medanos College (LMC). For more than 75 years, 4CD has opened doors for students and working families across the county by providing high-quality, affordable education. The three colleges and two center sites are where people learn new skills, take on new career paths, and build better futures. They provide affordable higher education, career training, transfer programs to four-year universities,and community education programs.

4CD drives opportunity in our region by supporting nearly 24,000 jobs and injecting 2.3 billion dollars annually into Contra Costa County economy. Modern campuses power our workforce pipeline, preparing residents for well-paying careers in healthcare, clean energy, public safety and advanced manufacturing. They prepare students for vital careers like nursing, firefighting, and paramedics for the next generation of first responders serving Contra Costa County.

A community college district bond is paid for by local property owners within the college district. If voters approve a bond measure, property taxes are assessed at $10 per $100,000 assessed property value to fund improvements and upgrades to campus facilities.

Measure G represents a long‑term investment in students, workers, and the economic vitality of Contra Costa County by ensuring community colleges can meet current and future educational and workforce needs.

The Contra Costa Community College District plays a vital role in our county by providing affordable education and workforce training for local residents, including those preparing for careers in healthcare, public safety, and other high-demand fields.

Contra Costa Community College District needs Measure G to repair and modernize decades-old aging classrooms, labs, and campus facilities that no longer meet today’s safety, accessibility, or workforce training standards. Without these upgrades, it becomes more difficult for nearly 50,000 local students each year to gain the skills needed for careers in healthcare, public safety, and other high-demand fields.

Measure G funding provides a local solution to improve and update facilities while keeping education affordable and accessible for county residents. It ensures funds stay in the community, includes strict oversight and independent audits, and represents a responsible investment in students, workers, and Contra Costa County’s future.

Contra Costa Community College District serves nearly 50,000 students each year across their three campuses: Diablo Valley College (DVC), Contra Costa College (CCC), Los Medanos College (LMC). Students include high school students simultaneously taking college classes, recent high school graduates, working adults, transfer students, veterans, and lifelong learners.

Students can choose from hundreds of degree and certificate programs, including transfer pathways to CSU and UC schools, career and technical education programs (such as nursing, STEM programs, engineering technology, business, and skilled trades), and general education courses. Many programs are designed to prepare students either for immediate employment or for transfer to a four-year university.

Yes. As public community colleges, Contra Costa Community College District colleges offer significantly lower tuition compared to four-year universities. Financial aid, grants, scholarships, and fee waiver programs are available to help eligible students reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket costs.

Measure G is supported by the Contra Costa Community College District Governing Board, local Supervisors, labor unions, business groups, faculty, staff and students. See full list here.

Measure G is a $920 million bond measure placed on the June 2, 2026 ballot by the Contra Costa Community College District Governing Board. The funds will support critical facility projects outlined in the district's Facilities Plans, addressing aging infrastructure across all three colleges — Contra Costa College, Diablo Valley College Pleasant Hill and San Ramon campuses,, and Los Medanos College and the Brentwood Center. The bond measure requires approval by 55% of voters in the County. If approved, the funds will be managed with the same transparency and local oversight as past bond measures. All spending will be monitored by an independent Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee and verified through regular independent financial audits. No funds can be used for administrator salaries or operating expenses — every dollar goes directly to improving campus facilities.

To address these needs, the Governing Board identified critical projects through the district's Facilities Plans, which included a facilities condition assessment,  safety requirements, accessibility needs, and instructional priorities across all campuses. Measure G provides a responsible, locally controlled solution to fund these projects and protect access to affordable, high-quality education for the nearly 50,000 students the district serves each year.

Measure G would help ensure nearly 50,000 local students each year can learn in safe, accessible, and up‑to‑date facilities. Modernized classrooms and labs better prepare students for careers in healthcare, public safety, skilled trades, and other high‑demand fields critical to the local and regional economy.

No. All Measure G funds stay right here in Contra Costa County and can only be used for local community college facility improvements at Contra Costa College, Diablo Valley College, Los Medanos College, and the two campus centers. The State cannot take or redirect these funds for other purposes.

This local control is an important feature of the bond measure. Unlike state funding, which can be delayed, reduced, or redirected, Measure G provides a locally controlled and fiscally responsible funding source dedicated entirely to improving the community college campuses that serve nearly 50,000 local students each year. A yes vote on Measure G keeps taxpayer dollars in the community, invested directly in the students, workers, and families of Contra Costa County.

In addition to keeping funds local, Measure G requires strict oversight to ensure every dollar is spent as promised. An independent Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee monitors all expenditures, and regular independent financial audits provide an additional layer of transparency and accountability.

Measure G includes multiple layers of fiscal accountability to protect taxpayer dollars. An independent Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee — made up of community members — will review all expenditures and publicly confirm that funds are used exclusively for facility improvements as outlined in the district's Facilities Master Plan. The district will also undergo regular independent financial audits to verify that every dollar is spent responsibly and as promised.

These protections continue the same oversight framework used for Measure E, which delivered 46 completed projects with clean audits, no waste, and no misuse of funds. The district also demonstrated strong fiscal stewardship by refinancing prior bonds, saving taxpayers $44 million. This track record reflects a long-standing commitment to transparency and responsible management.

Measure G funds can only be used for facility construction, renovation, and improvement. No money can go toward administrator salaries, employee benefits, or operating expenses. The combination of an independent oversight committee, regular audits, and legal restrictions on how funds can be spent ensures that voters can trust their investment is being managed with the same care and accountability as past bond measures.
