Section 3.2. - Transportation Projects

Los Angeles County Traffic Study Guidelines Section 3.2.1. - Introduction

Transportation projects that increase vehicular capacity can lead to additional travel on the roadway network, which can include induced vehicle travel due to factors such as increased speeds and induced growth. To provide consistency across transportation projects and achieve the County’s sustainability goals, the screening criteria for transportation impacts is based on the question below:

• For a transportation project, would the project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b)(2)?

For transportation projects, the intent is to assess whether a transportation project induces substantial additional VMT. The following screening criteria and impact criteria are meant to serve as guidance for projects to determine whether a Transportation Impact Analysis should be performed, and whether a project generates a significant transportation impact. The criteria will be considered on a project-by-project basis as approved by Public Works.
