This class will provide attendees with a background of CEQA's VMT traffic metric, including an understanding of the origins of the new traffic metric a discussion of the new CEQA Guidelines provisions on VMT, including an introduction to the OPR technical advisory and suggestions on how local agencies can adapt so that concerns about congestion and traffic impact fee programs can be addressed outside of CEQA. Mitigation sources, strategies, and limitations.Role of RTPs and general plans in setting significance thresholds.Role of the ARB's Mobile Source Strategy in establishing substantial evidence for significance thresholds.Differences in methods for energy, air quality, GHG, and transportation impacts.Role of VMT in environmental impact analysis versus transportation planning.Local traffic impact ordinances can live on.Local development standards to limit congestion take the place of CEQA mitigation.Exception for "roadway capacity projects".The underlying philosophy - encourage infill, discourage sprawl.

Vmt training how to#
This course will explain the technical details of how to address these changes and include detailed step-by-step flow-chart explanations of how to analyze land use projects, transportation projects, land use plans (e.g., general plans), and regional transportation plans under SB 743. These recommendations require fundamental changes in current transportation impact analysis practices and have implications for transportation planning as part of general plans and regional transportation plans. The recommended changes to the CEQA Guidelines include a Technical Advisory that provides recommendations about VMT screening, methodology, and thresholds. OPR has selected vehicle-miles-of-travel VMT as the preferred metric to comply with SB 743. We will also discuss means by which local agencies can continue to address the issue of traffic congestion outside of the CEQA process. We will discuss VMT and its relationship to climate change impacts the legislative history of VMT in California, including Senate Bills (SBs) 375 and 743 and an overview of the new CEQA Guidelines update. The course will examine the origins of changing the transportation metric from level of service (LOS) to vehicle-miles-of-travel (VMT). This course grants 1.6 CEUs and 16 AICP CM credits. Of California's city, county, regional, and other public agencies only.
