![]() ![]() ![]() By the end of the course, you will fully understand how VMT requirements apply to your projects and will know how to develop practical VMT practices and mitigation measures that are consistent with CEQA expectations. Under SB 743, these effects are now measured according to the overall amount that people drive (known as vehicle-miles traveled, or VMT). Through lecture and engaging Q&A sessions, you will learn the fundamentals of SB 743 requirements and explore the quantitative underpinnings of VMT analysis. Project includes more parking for use by residents. The VMT policy aligns with the goals and policies of the General Plan and adopted plans and supports new development in suitable areas near transit, mixed-use neighborhoods, and other amenities. This course has been developed to assist staff from local jurisdictions, state agencies and private CEQA practitioners in better understanding how to apply these new standards to their projects. CEQA transportation analysis required if: Project has a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of less than 0.75. known as Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), replacing the former method of analysis of vehicular. The proposed Transportation Study Guide includes options for the Board of Supervisors to consider related to: 1) the geography to use in calculating total/average VMT for the unincorporated county 2) criteria to use in determining which projects must conduct detailed VMT analysis and, 3) the VMT threshold to use in determining significance. While a measure of VMT has been used in air quality and greenhouse gas analysis for years, its application as a metric of transportation impacts is new and technical practices are still being developed. As of July 1, 2020, cities will be required to analyze the. Starting July 1, California is shifting from vehicle Level of Service (LOS) to Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) for transportation impact analyses under the. The vehicle miles traveled (VMT) conditions of SB 743 became effective on July 1, 2020, requiring the use of VMT as the primary metric of transportation impact analysis under CEQA.
