2003 CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM LOCAL
IMPLEMENTATION REPORT
Transportation and 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 2003 Local Implementation Report to the Metropolitan Transportation
Authority on or before the September 1, 2003 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 38,643 credit points and 28,570 debit points (10,064 additional
credits), yielding a balance of 419,612 credits, the third highest in Los Angeles County. This
year, City staff is submitting a report to the MTA claiming 37,026 credit points and 4,209 debit
points (32,817 additional credits), fora preliminary net balance of 452,950 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 17, 2003. City staff will deliver the adopted resolution and the 2003 Local Implementation
Report to MTA staff for consideration on or before the September 1, 2003 deadline.
