This article discusses California’s shift from using Level of Service (LOS) to Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) for evaluating transportation impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), highlighting the implications of Senate Bill 743 (SB 743) for local agencies.
This document offers a step-by-step framework for evaluating and mitigating VMT impacts of land use projects under California’s SB 743 guidelines.
This information can be used as part of the SB 743 implementation to determine potentially feasible VMT mitigation measures for individual land use projects in the WRCOG area.
In Cincinnati, as in many cities, curb space is a scarce resource. With multiple modes of transportation vying for access to the curb — from personal vehicles, buses, commercial vehicles and rideshare vehicles, to bicycles and pedestrians — Cincinnati has joined the ranks of cities around the world that are looking for ways to make curb space safer and more efficient.
We identified three travel forecasting models and 11 sketch planning tools that produce VMT forecasts or test VMT reduction strategies.
This study introduces the Curb Productivity Index to measure the efficiency of curb space allocation and offers strategies to enhance curbside access and safety.
