• July 12 - Board direction to develop a Regional Plan that meets federal and state laws/targets, assumes realistic and transparent revenues, utilizes the 5 Big Moves and Complete Corridors model, and prioritizes corridors previously scheduled for investment such as SR 78, 52, 67, and 94/125.

• September 27 - Board approves $40 million for Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plans/Advanced Planning over the next 5 years.

What is SB 743?

• Signed into law in 2013• Legislative intent:

• New methodologies evaluating transportation impacts under CEQA

• Promote statewide goals “reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the development of multimodal transportation networks, and a diversity of land.”

• OPR to amend the CEQA Guidelines

What did it do?

“Automobile delay shall not be considered a significant impact on the environment” (PRC § 21099(b)(2))

Level of Service (LOS) Vehicle Mile Traveled (VMT)

Source: Orange County RegisterDRAFT

5

Why?

Good Grade in LOS ≠ Success in Transportation Planning

Good LOSLow Accessibility

Bad LOSHigh AccessibilityDRAFT

6

Why?

“ During the last 10 years, the Legislature has charted a course of long-term sustainability based on denser infill development, reduced reliance on individual vehicles and improved mass transit, all with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”

Promote InfillDevelopment

Increase Mobility Options

+ =Reduce GHG and

traffic-related air pollutionDRAFT

7

How?

“OPR recommends that a per capita or per employee VMT that is fifteen percent below that of existing development may be a

reasonable (CEQA) threshold.”
