STAFF REPORT
CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
2007 CONFORMANCE REPORT
August 8, 2007
In 1997, the Vernon City Council approved Ordinance No. 1015 adopting a trip
reduction and travel demand program in order to implement the Congestion Management
Program ("CMP") of the County of Los Angeles. The CMP was designed to alleviate
traffic congestion caused by increases in new development. Pursuant to the CMP, each
city has been required to self certify that it is in compliance with all elements of the
program.
Conformance with local CMP requirements is required for jurisdictions to receive
their portion of state gas tax revenues allocated by Section 2105 of the California Streets
and Highways Code. Failure to comply with the requirements of the program could result
in a loss of state and federal funding for transportation projects.
The Countywide Deficiency Plan requires local agencies to offset a portion of the
impact of new local development has on the regional transportation system. Historically,
each local jurisdiction's responsibilities had been tracked through a point system that
reflected the impact of local growth ("debits") and benefits of transportation
improvements ("credits"), of which cities were required to maintain a positive balance.
In recent years, cities have raised concerns regarding this Deficiency Plan approach,
citing their difficulty in maintaining conformance and questioning its effectiveness.
In 2003, the MTA Board authorized a Short Range Transportation Plan that
authorized a nexus study to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a congestion
mitigation fee. The fee would help ensure that new growth directly mitigated traffic
impacts on the regional transportation system by helping fund needed local transportation
improvements. Said fees would mirror mitigation fees implemented in Orange and
Riverside Counties. The purpose of the nexus study was to identify and justify a
mitigation fee that would meet CMP Deficiency Plan requirements.

Since that time no congestion mitigation fees have been implemented, however,
while the nexus study continues, local jurisdictions are still required to keep track of and
report all new development activity, which represents new net development after
subtracting for building permit revocations or demolitions. However, cities will no longer
be required to maintain the "positive credit balance" as mentioned above.
The study will further evaluate a range of issues raised by the CMP Policy
Advisory Committee ("PAC") which includes crafting sub -regional fees that reflect local
conditions, acknowledging local traffic impact fees, and streamlining the administration
of the program.
Because of this change in reporting requirements, a new reporting form has been
created called the Local Development Report ("LDR"). Based on the Local
Implementation Report from previous reporting cycles, the new form only calls for
information on new net development. The calculation of Countywide Deficiency Plan
"debits" is not included.
Therefore, the City Council is requested to adopt the attached Congestion
Management Program Local Development Report, in accordance with California
Government Code Section 65089.
