PUBLIC HEARING City Manager Approval
Item to be presented by: Mark Yamarone
DATE: July 9, 2002
SUBJECT: 2002 CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM LOCAL
IMPLEMENTATION REPORT
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution finding the City to be in
conformance with the Congestion Management Program; and direct staff to deliver the adopted
resolution and the 2002 Local Implementation Report to the Metropolitan Transportation
Authority on or before the September 1, 2002 deadline.
BACKGROUND
The Congestion Management Program (CMP) is a State -mandated program administered in
Los Angeles County by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). The CMP is
intended to assist local agencies in linking land use decisions with impacts on the region's
transportation system. The City is required to participate in this program in order to receive
Proposition 111 Gas Tax funds.
Participation in the CMP requires adoption of the proposed compliance resolution and a report
to the MTA on new development activity and new transportation improvements. This report
either credits or debits the bank established in the 1995 CMP reporting process. New
development activity is debited against the bank, and transportation improvements are granted
additional credits. The City must maintain a positive balance of credits to be in compliance
with the CMP.
Last year, the City submitted 95,731 credit points and 15,912 debit points (+79,819 credits
total), yielding a balance of 410,069 credits, the fourth highest credit balance in Los Angeles
County. This year, City staff is submitting a report to the MTA claiming 38,643 credit points
and 28,570 debit points (+10,064 additional credits), for a preliminary net balance of 420,133
credits.
The MTA requires that the City Council pass a resolution adopting the Local Implementation
Report through a public hearing process. A public notice was posted in The Signal on
June 21, 2002. City staff will deliver the adopted resolution and the 2002 Local
Implementation Report to MTA staff for consideration on or before the September 1, 2002
