BACKGROUND
The Congestion Management Program is a new program enacted by the State
Legislature with the passage of Assembly Bill 471 (July 10, 1989), as amended
by Assembly Bill 1791 (February 11, 1990). In passing the Congestion.
Management Program, the Legislature noted increasing concern that urban
congestion was impacting the. economic vitality of the State and diminishing
the quality of life in many communities. The Legislature also noted that the
current planning process is not well suited to addressing congestion relief in
a coordinated manner. As a new approach to addressing congestion concerns,
the Congestion Management Program was created for the,following purposes -
0
To make the most effective use.of all transportation methods in managing
congestion through the Congestion Management Program process.
o To require local jurisdictions to examine the impact of land use
decisions on the regional transportation system and be responsible for
mitigating these impacts.
o To develop transportation solutions that also work toward improving air
quality.
The proposed resolution shows Santa Clarita's support of the program designed
to alleviate air quality and traffic congestions problems throughout Los
Angeles County.
A copy of the most recent draft of the Congestion Management Program is
available in the Community Development Department.
To adopt Resolution 91-109 and send a letter of support to the Los Angeles
County Transportation Commission.
