Los Angeles County Traffic Study Guidelines Section 3.1.1. - Introduction

The updated CEQA Guidelines certified and adopted by the California Natural Resources Agency in December 2018 are now in effect. Accordingly, Los Angeles County Public Works recognizes the need to provide information based on guidance from the Office of Planning and Research and the California Air Resources Board on the assessment of vehicle miles traveled (VMT), thresholds of significance, and mitigation measures for development projects and land use plans in accordance with the amended Appendix G question below:

• For a development project, would the project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b)(1)?

For development projects, the intent of this question is to assess whether a proposed project or plan adequately reduces total VMT. Public Works provides the following guidance regarding screening and impact criteria to address this question. The following screening criteria and impact criteria are only meant to serve as guidance for projects to determine whether a Transportation Impact Analysis should be performed, and the criteria to determine if a project generates a significant transportation impact. The criteria shall be determined on a project-by-project basis as approved by Public Works.
