Reduce Emissions from New Residential and Office/Business Professional Development Vehicle Miles Traveled

Measure

The County will achieve a 15 percent reduction in daily VMT compared to the regional average as specified in Sacramento County’s Transportation Analysis Guidelines for all new residential and office/business professional development in the County, consistent with Policy CI-5 of the Circulation Element. Where the target reduction is infeasible for individual projects as determined through the CEQA process, participation in a VMT mitigation program shall be required to offset VMT impacts.

Status of Implementation

The County is currently evaluating the estimated cost and scope to develop a VMT mitigation program for land use projects. This effort is being coordinated between the Department of Transportation and Office of Planning and Environmental Review. Eventually it is likely that a consultant will be hired to conduct the nexus study and develop the fee program. The County is also collaborating with the Sacramento Transportation Authority (STA) on a potential VMT mitigation program for transportation projects.
