Section 3.1.5. - Mitigation

Los Angeles County Traffic Study Guidelines Section 3.1.5.1. - Development Project Mitigations

Potential mitigation measures for a development project’s VMT impacts can include the following:

• Transportation demand management (TDM) strategies beyond those that will be included as project design features. These strategies shall be demonstrated to be effective in reducing VMT. Some of these may include, but are not limited to, the following described in Table 3.1.5-1 below. Substantial evidence should be provided to the Public Works to support the claimed effectiveness of the measure(s),

Table 3.1.5-1: TDM Strategies

• Additional TDM measures beyond those listed above may be considered, if such measure is used to quantitatively reduce a project’s VMT estimate. Substantial evidence should be provided to Public Works to support the effectiveness of the measure,
• For a single-use project, introducing compatible additional land uses to allow for internalization of trips,
• For a mixed-use project, modifying the project’s land use mix to increase internalization of trips, reduce external trip generation, and serve the local community.

Los Angeles County Traffic Study Guidelines Section 3.1.5.2. - Land Use Plans Mitigations

Potential mitigation measures for land use plan VMT impacts can include:

• Reallocation of future land use development to increase land use variety and density in transportation-efficient locations (e.g., proximity to jobs and housing, proximity to transit, proximity to services),
• Measures to enhance the public transit system and/or connections to the system including active transportation mode improvements, such as infrastructure improvements, programs, or education and marketing,
• Measures to encourage reduced reliance on automobile trips and encourage transit and active transportation modes.
